A Karelian stage in the life of the great Russian artist,
Nicholas Roerich, is relatively well-known. However,
researchers have not been practically studied the
period of residence of the Roerich family in Vyborg. It
is known that N. Roerich was friends with the Finnish
artist A. Gallen-Kallela, who helped him to remain in
Finnish Vyborg in the period of revolutionary events
in Russia. From October 1918 to May 1919 the
Roerich family lived in Viborg in Ladaunkatu (now
Turgenev St.), №8. The painting «Autumn» (1919)
was written by the artist during the Vyborg’s period.
The painting was created in a fantastic manner which
was usual for the artist. Unfortunately, at the moment
nothing is known about his other works with views of
Vyborg. However, in the catalog of his works,
published in the USA in the 1920-es , under the name
of each picture is given information about where and
when it was created. Thus, under some of the works of
the artist is the mark: «Painted in Viborg». So, today
we can say about some works of master, which he
wrote in Vyborg. In the first place, there are famous
paintings of the artist: «Repentance», «Call of the bell.
Old Pskov», «Sons of the Heavens», «The heat of the
Earth», «Autumn – Vyborg», «Les Miserables
(Outcast)», «Treasure» and others. As well, in 1918 at
the time of staying the family in Vyborg a number of
sketches in "Vyborg Notebook" were made by his
son, Svetoslav Roerich, who was then 16 years old.
Probably, inexhaustible diligence of Roerich gave a
rise to other works with the theme of Vyborg, which
scientists do not know because this topic has not been
investigated
