14th century Moscow was a significant cultural centre in Russia and played a leading role in the development of Russian art. The Moscow school of early Russian painting included such artists as Theophanes the Greek, Andrei Rublev and Dionysius, who rank among the artistic geniuses of medieval Russia. This volume, written by a specialist in early Russian painting, contains reproductions of works by icon painters for cathedrals in Zagorsk, Vladimir and Moscow. The works are now housed in the Soviet museums, among them the Kremlin, the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow and the Russian Museum, Leningrad. Also included are works by contemporaries and followers as well as a detailed catalogue of all the works illustrated.
