Born in the 1360s, Andrey Rublev was a Muscovite monk and icon painter who died between 1427 and 1430 in Moscow. He is acknowledged as the supreme medieval Russian painter of icons and frescos, yet much about him remains mysterious. To date there is no volume in English on him or his work.
This book addresses the gap, giving an overview of Rublev's own times and later reputation, and taking in the most recent Rublev scholarship. It uses Russian-language material (including Old Russian), but is thoroughly accessible to the non-specialist reader. Andrey Rublev is profusely illustrated with previously unpublished images, bringing the story of Rublev's 'rediscovery' right up to date.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This wonderfully lucid and superbly illustrated book is a triumph of scholarship combined with sensitive interpretation. Andrey Rublev is a compendium of insight and information about icon painting, icon veneration, Russian monasticism and Russian culture. * Ann Shukman, writer, translator and Russian scholar *
