Life and works
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 glorifed one of nine saints glorified by the Church in of Russia at its council held June 6-9, 1988.
