Andrei Rublev

Trinity icon — Russia's greatest painter

The greatest of all icon painters. His Trinity — three angels at Abraham's table, rendered in luminous blues and golds with an ethereal serenity — is the supreme masterpiece of Russian art and one of the most contemplated images in Christianity. Tarkovsky's film bears his name.
