The Himalayas (Blue Mountains)

Mediums: tempera, canvas.
Location: State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg.

Inspired by the beauty of the nature of the mountains, the artist once wrote: “No one will say that the Himalayas are gorges, it does not occur to anyone to point out that these are gloomy gates, no one will say the word monotony, remembering the Himalayas. Truly a whole part of the human vocabulary will be left when you enter the realm of snows of the Himalayas. And the gloomy and boring part of the dictionary will be forgotten.”
