Early Life and Education

Nicholas Roerich, also known as Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerikh (Russian: Никола́й Константи́нович Ре́рих), was a Russian painter, writer, archaeologist, theosophist, and philosopher. Born on October 9, 1874, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Roerich's life was marked by an insatiable curiosity for various disciplines.

Artistic Pursuits

Roerich's artistic talents were recognized early, leading to his enrollment in the Imperial Academy of Arts and St. Petersburg University in 1893. He received the title of "artist" in 1897 and a degree in law the following year. His artistic style, characterized by hypnotic expressions, was influenced by his interests in hypnosis and spirituality.
