Andrei Rublev: A collection of 58 paintings (HD)
Description: Russians consider Rublev their greatest icon-painter, the artist whose work epitomizes all that is most excellent in Russian medieval painting of the 14th century. He exceeded all other medieval artists in the art of blending the severe rules and traditions of Byzantine Christian art with Russia's dreamier conception of beauty and with the pensive, introspective outlook evoked by the impact of Italian sentiment upon Slavic imagination. Although Rublev's Deesis, destroyed by fire in 1547, is the only icon mentioned on aesthetic grounds in medieval chronicles, almost as little is known about Rublev's life as that of Theophanes. He was born in Pskov, probably about 1370, and he is known to have painted the walls of the Cathedral of the Assumption at Vladimir, but these murals were so badly restored early in the 20th century that they now throw no light on Rublev's early manner. The first actual mention of Rublev is in 1405 when he - along with Theophanes the Greek and Prokhor of Gorodets - executed a number of panel paintings and religious murals for the Cathedral of the Annunciation in the Moscow Kremlin. See also: Christian Art, Byzantine Period.
At some unspecified period in his life, Rublev became a monk of the Spas Andronievski Monastery in Moscow, but there is nothing to show whether he studied under Theophanes before taking his vows or some time after 1395, when Theophanes moved to Moscow. All that we know is that Rublev never left Moscow after entering the Spas Andronievski Monastery, and that most of his work was done in and around the city. Since his surviving works are to be found either at Vladimir or in Moscow, Rublev is often classified as a master of either the Vladimir-Suzdal or early Muscovite school, but the ingredients of his style derive mainly from the Novgorod school of icon painting.
