Building the Ships. Study, 1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Nicholas Roerich captures a mesmerizing scene of bustling activity on the banks of a river. In this fine art print, we are transported back in time to witness the construction of majestic sailing ships amidst a picturesque settlement in Ukraine or Russia. The painting exudes symbolism and historical significance as it depicts the rich heritage of Slavic peoples and their connection with trade routes from the Varangians to the Greeks. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings alive every aspect of life along the Dnieper River, from settlers going about their daily routines to Viking guests from overseas. Roerich's mastery is evident through his skillful use of oil on wood, which adds depth and texture to each stroke. The composition beautifully balances elements such as water, sailing boats, and rural commune life against a backdrop that hints at Russian history. As we gaze upon this artwork housed within the collection of International Centre of Roerichs in Moscow, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its historical importance. "Building the Ships" serves as an homage to our ancestors' ingenuity and resilience while offering us a glimpse into a bygone era when rivers were lifelines for civilizations. This print invites us to explore our roots and appreciate how human endeavor has shaped our world throughout history.
