Probably, everyone heard the name of the skillful artist Svyatoslav Roerich, who at the beginning of the twentieth century had already established himself as an excellent expert in his field. In addition, he was a rather versatile person and was completely devoted to his work with all his heart.

Roerich was able to see, even in such domestic trifles, something natural, genuine and noble. After all, his main idea was to show how and why a person lives in the world? It is interesting that the landscape in the paintings of the artist does not have any attractive ideas, and sometimes it reflects only background events in human life. For example, the mountains depicted in shades of gray make it clear that on the path of life everyone will have to climb and climb up to achieve something. In general, the picture gives a clear understanding of the meaning of life.
