The suite “Bogatyr Frieze”

In 1909-1910 Roerich performed the series of panels "Bogatyr frieze" for the mansion of Philadelph (Philipp) Bazhanov, the prominent industrialist and honorable citizen of Saint- Petersburg. The house was built by the architect Pavel Aleshin in 1907-1908 in the Art Nouveau style. Unique design was characteristic of every interior he created, but the theme of heroic Ancient Rus was the dominant one. The living room was decorated with majolica fireplace "Volga and Mikula", made according to the sketch of Mikhail Vrubel. The Roerich's panel was located in the dining room. The series consisted of eight narratives (“Sadko”, “Knight”,”Boyan (Bard)”, “Ilya Muromets”, “Mikula Selyaninovich”, “Hill Fort”, “Volga Svyatoslavovich”, “Nightingale the Robber”) and eleven decorative compositions. The creation of the monumental "Bogatyr frieze" became the culmination of Roerich’s appeal to the epic topic in his work.

Battle of Kerzhenets is a curtain design by Roerich for a symphonic interlude in Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia for Sergei Diaghilev’s Saisons Russes in Paris. The Battle of Kerzhenets is an episode in the Russian forces’ battle against the invading Tartars in the 13th century. According to legend in this battle an entire town, called Kitezh, vanished into the waters of the River Kerzhenets which flows through the Nizhny Novgorod Province. In his curtain design Roerich depicted the fierce battle between the Russians and the Tartars. The swiftly galloping riders and ominously swirling clouds reflected in the waters of the river hide the outlines of the vanishing town, thus saving it from destruction by the enemy. Later on the design would form the basis of a decorative panel for the Kazan Station in Moscow (it was never produced).

The artist himself contributed to the libretto of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet Le Sacre du printemps. While Stravinsky composed the music, Roerich developed the ballet “score”, employing his excellent knowledge of the customs, dances and costumery of the Ancient Slavs in a synthesis of the arts befitting a member of the World of Art. Although his sets were highly acclaimed by the critics, the public failed to understand the revolutionary choreography of Vaslav Nijinsky. Audiences whistled and jeered, drowning out the orchestra. Adoration of the Earth is inspired by ancient Russian history.

The Serpent Princess

• 1906
• Cardboard, tempera. 50 х 39
• The State Russian Museum

One of the demonic motifs that fascinated artists in the middle of the 1900s. He was inspired by the little-known and evidently very ancient subject of half-men/half-serpents, which resembles a tortuous dream about the irresistible power of love. The phosphorescent paints, clouds racing across the sky and the flapping cape of the hero here are contrasted with hardened, lubok-esque "primitive" figures that convey the meaning of the scene, a scene full of "terrible charms and the murmurings of quiet horror".

Lahaul Rocks (Signs ofGesar)

• Canvas, tempera. 86 x 123
• The State Russian Museum

Images of this sort are typical of Bronze Age rock paintings discovered in India, Kirgizia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Western Tibet (Lahaul). The images depict the traditional scene of a round dance in honour of the god Gesar. Roerich returned several times to this character both in his paintings and his writings (The Sword of Gesar Khan). Gesar Khan was a religious hero in a Mongolian-Tibetan epic who cleansed the earth of monsters.
