Saint Andrei Rublev (Russian: Андре́й Рублёв born in 1360?, died in January 29, 1430) is considered one of the greatest iconographers of all time. He lived in Russia and was also a monk. His feast day is July 4.
Life and works
Though very few details of his life are known, tradition does give a basic outline. Andrei (commonly Andrew in English) went to a monastery, called Holy Trinity Monastery, at a young age and grew up there. He was greatly influenced by St Sergius of Radonezh, the igumen of the monastery.
Eventually Andrei decided to become a monk, and with the blessing of the new igumen of his monastery traveled to another, the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery, founded by St Andronik (June 13). There he was tonsured a monk and began to study iconography under Theophanes the Greek and a monk named Daniel.
The first known reference to his work appeared in 1405, when he is said to have written icons and frescoes in the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Moscow with Theophanes and another iconographer named Prochorus. In 1408 he and Daniel, his fellow monastic, painted frescoes in the Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir. Finally, he and Daniel were asked to paint the new church of Holy Trinity Monastery, where Andrei had grown up, after the monastery was destroyed by Tatars in 1408. This was about the time that he painted the only surviving icon credited as entirely his work - the Trinity, or Hospitality of Abraham.
Andrei Rublev reposed at Andronikov Monastery on January 29, 1430. He was one of nine saints glorified by the Church of Russia at its council held June 6-9, 1988.
