The artwork titled “St. Olga of Kyiv” was created by artist Nicholas Roerich in the year 1915. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified as a religious painting.
The artwork portrays St. Olga of Kyiv, a prominent figure in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, with a solemn and dignified expression. She is adorned in a richly detailed robe and a headpiece, emphasizing her noble and spiritual status. In her right hand, she holds a large cross, symbolizing her Christian faith and piety. The background is minimalistic, allowing the viewer’s focus to remain on St. Olga. There is an inscription next to her image, presumably identifying her. The use of detailed line work and intricate patterns reflects the stylistic elements of the Art Nouveau movement.
