From the organizer:

The exhibition will feature 63 copies of artworks from The State Museum of Oriental Art’s Collection in Moscow. Among the largest museums, this institution is considered to own one of the best collections by Nicholas Roerich in Russia and all over the world.

With knowledge of Russian history, myth and epic as well as interest in Oriental history and religion, Nicholas Roerich found out that historical figures and legends in the old days passed down moral injunctions about life and responsibility to descendants. From the beginning of his creative career, Nicholas Roerich publicly stated his knowledge about historical signal. Though his topics were various (e.g Russia, Europe, Tibet, Mongolia, India), his main theme about the beauty of Earth and outstanding behaviors of famous figures and spiritual leaders stayed the same.
