Garden of Eden. The sketch for the painting of the church in Talashkino Roerich N.K. (Part 1)

The painting depicts a fantastical, luminous city with domed buildings and spires nestled amidst rolling, wavy landscapes in shades of blue. The sky is a pale, sandy yellow, with a few soft, muted clouds. The overall impression is one of ethereal beauty and a dreamlike, idyllic setting.
The subtexts likely relate to the concept of paradise or a spiritual utopia, referencing the Garden of Eden in its title. The city, rendered in a style that evokes ancient Russian architecture and iconography, could symbolize a divinely ordained realm or a perfect society. The undulating blue forms might represent water, earth, or even spiritual energy, creating a harmonious and peaceful environment. The paintings serene atmosphere and idealized depiction suggest a desire for a world free from conflict and suffering, a spiritual sanctuary.
