Description of Nicholas Roerich’s painting The Wanderer of the Bright City
The painting was created in 1933 in oil on canvas.
Nikolai Roerich is a unique personality in Russian history. He was an artist, writer, philosopher and archaeologist. He traveled a lot and was a public figure. During his life he wrote seven thousand paintings.
Roerich contributed to the country’s church heritage by designing and painting temples. His work was appreciated during his lifetime, exhibitions always had many visitors. Many museums dedicated to Nicholas Roerich have been created around the world. His activities included various spheres of life.
Roerich created an expedition to Asia, which influenced his entire life and work. He also spent several years in exile beginning in 1917. Influenced by Asia, the teachings of the ancient sages, the Indian and Tibetan Lamas, he created literary works and paintings dedicated to wanderings and the search for truth. All of them make an impression on audiences around the world.
The painting The Wanderer of the Bright City is one of the works devoted to the soul searching for truth. The painting depicts a traveler who, after a long road, has finally found a wonderful city. What is it? Shambhala or Belovodie? A place sought by millions of wanderers around the world to get answers and learn the knowledge of the ancient sages. Roerich depicted temples in this wondrous city to show that there can be no truth without religion.
Peace and harmony in the soul can only be found through God. Everything in this place suggests that the traveler will find his center of the world. A wondrous country, somewhere high in the mountains, that was written about thousands of years ago. It is as if it goes into the heavens. An earthly paradise, filled with light, peace and the meaning of existence.
The subject of the painting is intertwined with all the other paintings by Roerich on the search for Shambhala, the City of the Gods, Belovodja and the center of the world.
The painting is in storage at the Roerich Museum. New York.
