Holy Trinity Icon by Andrei Rublev
The Holy Trinity Icon (aka 'The Hospitality of Abraham') is a panel painting created by Andrei Rublev (c.1360-1430) in the early 15th century. Probably the most famous of all Russian religious paintings, it represents one of the highpoints of Russian art of the late Medieval era. It was painted between 1411 and 1425, by the monk-artist Andrei Rublev, for the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius. This monastery - located in the town of Sergiyev Posad, about 40 miles north-east of Moscow - was founded in 1345 by St Sergius of Radonezh, and remains the most important Russian monastery as well as the spiritual heart of the Russian Orthodox Church.
In 1551, the Russian Orthodox Church 'Council of the Hundred Chapters' hotsell pondered the issue of icons that, a few centuries previously, had so exercised Byzantine art of the Middle Ages. In an effort to define its iconographical canons, the Council declared the Holy Trinity Icon, by Rublev, to be the ideal medieval painting of its type, and the model for all Orthodox Russian artists.
