Андре́й Рублёв

Rublev's Trinity

Andrei Rublev Андрей Рублёв is considered to be the greatest Russian painter of icons. There is little information about his life.
The first mention of Rublev is in 1405. That is when he decorated icons for the Moscow Kremlin. The only work authenticated as his is the icon of the Old Testament Trinity. It is in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
His work is known for being serene and calm. He is considered an icon in the field. :-)
