The artwork titled “Village Kardang. Lahaul.” was created by artist Nicholas Roerich in 1932. This piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is classified as a landscape genre painting.
The artwork depicts a serene village nestled against the backdrop of rugged, towering mountains. The scene is vibrant with a mix of bright and muted tones, capturing the earthy greens of the fields in the foreground, which gradually transition to the rich purples and pinks of the mountainous terrain. The village itself appears to blend with the surrounding landscape, constructed in harmony with its natural environment. The prominent use of bold lines and contrasting colors embodies a symbolic representation of the village’s tranquil yet majestic setting. The overall composition conveys a deep connection between human habitation and the grandeur of nature.
