Памятник Н. К. Рериху в Санкт-Петербурге, Monument to Nicholas Roerich in Vasileostrovets Garden, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Nicholas Roerich Monument is a granite sculpture located on Vasilievsky Island in Saint Petersburg. The statue depicts the artist standing on a substantial pedestal carved with decorative rock formations.
The monument was unveiled in 2010 to honor an artist who was born and baptized on this island. The choice of location emphasizes the artist's deep roots in Saint Petersburg.
The sculpture sits in a public garden where people visit to reflect on Roerich's legacy as an artist and cultural advocate. The location links the island's history with a figure who dedicated his career to safeguarding cultural treasures worldwide.
The sculpture stands at a central location that is easy to reach on foot and served by several tram lines. The site has no formal entrance and remains freely accessible during daylight hours.
The artist honored by this sculpture traveled through Asia and drew inspiration from Himalayan landscapes, which later appeared carved into the monument's pedestal. This connection between his journeys and the artwork makes it a personal record of his artistic travels.
