[[image:Angelsatmamre-trinity-rublev-1410.jpg|thumb|175px|Rublev's Trinity]] There is little information about his life. It is not known where he was born. Andrei Rublev probably lived in the [[Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra]] under Nikon of Radonezh, who became [[monk]] after the death of [[Sergii Radonezhsky]] ([[1392]]). The first mention about Rublev’s [[iconography]] was in [[1405]] when he decorated [[icon]]s and [[fresco]]s for the [[Cathedral of the Dormition]] of the [[Moscow Kremlin]] in company with [[Feofan Grek]] and [[Prokhor]] of [[Gorodets, Russia|Gorodets]]. His name was the last of the list of masters as the smallest both by rank and by age. Chronicles tell us that in [[1408]] he painted (together with Daniil Cherni) the [[Cathedral of the Assumption]] in [[Vladimir, Russia|Vladimir]] and in [[1425]]–[[1427]] the Cathedral of St. Trinity in the [[Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra]]. After Daniil’s death Andrei came to the Moscow's [[Andronikov Monastery]] where he painted his last work, frescoes of the Savior Cathedral. The only work authenticated as entirely his is the icon of the Old Testament Trinity (ca [[1410]]), at [[Tretyakov Gallery]], [[Moscow]]. It is also known as the Hospitality of Abraham.

The characters of his paintings are always peaceful and calm. After some time his art came to be perceived as the ideal of Church painting and of iconic art. He died at Andronikov Monastery on [[January 29]] [[1430]]. His art influenced many different artists including [[Dionisy]]. At [[Stoglavi Sobor]] ([[1551]]) Rublev’s iconography was announced as a model for church paintings. He was [[canonized]] in [[1988]]. The church celebrates his memory on [[July 4]]. Since [[1959]] the Andrei Rublev museum has been open in Andronnikov Monastery, showing the art of his works and his epoch. == See also == *''[[Andrei Rublev (movie)|Andrei Rublev]]'', a [[1966]] film about the painter by [[Andrei Tarkovsky]]. *''[[Christ the Redeemer (icon)|Christ the Redeemer]]'', an icon painted by Andrei Rublev. {{commons|Andrei Rublev}} [[Category:Russian painters|Rublev, Andrei]] [[Category:Saints]] [[Category:1360 births|Andrei Rublev]] [[Category:1430 deaths|Andrei Rublev]] [[Category:Orthodox Icons]] [[bg:Андрей Рубльов]] [[de:Andrei Rubljow]] [[ja:アンドレイ・ルブリョフ]] [[pl:Andrzej Rublow]] [[ru:Рублёв, Андрей]] [[sv:Andrej Rubljov]]
