Andrey Rublev. The best icons. Comp. Astakhov A.

The great Russian icon painter Andrei Rublev was allegedly born in 1360. Whether this happened in Novgorod or in another place of the Moscow principality is not known for certain. In history there is a description of his personality: “. He was a man of a good humble temper, full of joy and lordship.” The Trinity is the trinity of God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. On the icon there are three angels that descended from heaven in the form of wanderers to the forefather Abraham and his wife Sarre. Abraham was predicted that he had to become a father. We see a bowl on the icon, and in it the head of the Taurus to make a victim.

The icon introduces people to the world of heaven. The icon painters did not encroach “on the sinful mission” - to write portraits of saints. The task was more difficult: to create images of intermediaries between the earthly world - and heavenly.
