🎨 🌄 #OTD, 150 years ago, on October 9, 1874, the outstanding Russian painter, thinker and traveller, Nicholas Roerich, was born.

Later, having moved to this country, he began to study and carefully popularize the local culture and spiritual traditions. His creative legacy became a link between the cultures of Russia and India, significantly influencing the development of relations between the two powers.

🏔️ Roerich is rightly considered a master of mountain landscapes.
