Signed lower left “M. Saryan 1967”; inscribed on the verso “Martiros Saryan 1967 V gorakh”.

Attributed to Martiros Saryan, In the Mountains (1967) embodies the lyricism and luminous clarity that define the artist’s vision of Armenia. Rolling hills unfold beneath a crystal sky, built from broad planes of ochre, rose, and turquoise — colours alive with sunlight and air. The landscape breathes with both structure and serenity, echoing Saryan’s poetic realism where nature and spirit become one.

Executed in oil on canvas, the painting balances disciplined construction with atmospheric freedom. The brushwork flows in measured rhythm, each stroke harmonizing temperature and tone to evoke the living warmth of the Caucasus. Saryan’s world is not merely observed; it is felt — a hymn to the enduring beauty of his homeland.

Whether by the master himself or within his close circle, In the Mountains captures the essence of Saryan’s philosophy: to find divinity in simplicity and to render the world through pure, radiant colour — a timeless ode to light, life, and belonging.
