EDITORS COMMENTS
Lake Hympola, 1917" is a stunning and evocative work of art by the renowned Russian painter, Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947). This exquisite tempera and pastel on cardboard painting depicts the tranquil waters of Lake Ladoga, the largest lake in Europe, located in the Leningrad Oblast of Russia. Roerich's masterful use of color and composition captures the ethereal beauty of the lake, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding forests and mountains. The painting is set against the backdrop of Old Ladoga, an ancient Slavic town located on the shores of the lake, which was an important cultural and historical center during the Viking Age. The painting is filled with symbolism, with the Volkhov River flowing into the lake, representing the connection between the past and the present, as well as the interconnectedness of all things. The Varangians, or Vikings, who once sailed these waters, are also represented in the painting, with their longships docked at the shore. Roerich's use of tempera and pastel techniques adds depth and texture to the painting, bringing the scene to life in a way that is both realistic and otherworldly. The painting is a testament to Roerich's artistic vision and his deep connection to the natural world and the rich cultural heritage of Russia. This painting, "Lake Hympola, 1917," is a treasure of Russian art history and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the world around us. It is a work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers, transporting them to a time and place of wonder and magic.
