    A stunning, major exhibition of 37 paintings and artifacts from Moscow’s Andrey Rublev Museum—most never shown before in the U.S—opens to at the Museum of Russian Icons, the only venue for this show, on Saturday, October 23, 2010. The Andrey Rublev Museum located in the historic Spaso-Andronikov Monastery, is home to one of the most prominent collections of icons in Russia and is named after the legendary icon painter, Andrey Rublev.



    Perhaps the most dramatic showstopper in the exhibition is the monumental, 57'' x 46'', Old Testament Trinity, circa late 15th – early 16th century, originating from the Trinity Church of the village of Magic Mountain of the Uglich region, Yaroslavl area. The subject matter of the icon is based on Chapter XVIII of the Book of Genesis, which describes how God appeared to Abraham in the form of three traveling angels. The icon's composition in many ways strongly resembles the famous image painted by Andrey Rublev around 1409-1425 as a church image in the Trinity Cathedral of the Troitse-Sergiev Monastery.
