Nicholas Roerich, (October 9, 1874 – December 13, 1947) was a Russian painter and philosop
His son, Svetoslav Nikolaevich Roerich (1904, – January 30, 1993),lived for many years in Bangalore, India > The Government awarded him the Padma Bhushan. His paintings of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, adorn the historic Central Parliament Hall in New Delhi. He was married in 1945 to an Indian movie star Devika Rani, ( known as "The First Lady of the Indian Screen".)
Today, the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City is a major center for Roerich's artistic work. Numerous Roerich societies continue to promote his theosophical teachings worldwide. His paintings can be seen in several museums including the Roerich Department of the State Museum of Oriental Arts in Moscow; the Roerich Museum at the International Centre of the Roerichs in Moscow; the Russian State Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia; a collection in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow; a collection in the Art Museum in Novosibirsk, Russia; a collection in the Art Museum in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia; the Roerich Hall Estate in Nagar village, Kullu Valley, Himachal-Pradesh (India); in various art museums in India; and a selection featuring several of his larger works in The Latvian National Museum of Art. Roerich biography and his controversial expeditions to Tibet and Manchuaria has been recently explored by two Russian authors, Vladimir Rosov and Alexandre Andreyev, American (Andrei Znamenski), and the German Ernst von Waldenfels. I was at the Naggar, manali Museum recently and here are some snaps:
