Seeing them in a single exhibition space, visitors will have a unique opportunity to make the fullest possible impression both on the legacy of the master, and a critical juncture in the history of Russian culture.

Herein lies the fundamental difference between the present draft of monographic exhibitions of artists of modern times, which is peculiar factual thoroughness, which allows viewers to trace all the stages and the nuances of their career.

The anniversary celebrations Rublev, the exact time of birth is unknown to us, has become a tradition since 1960, when an unprecedented scale, it was noted the 600 anniversary of the alleged birth of the painter.

The earliest mention of it can be found in the Trinity Chronicle.

The second documentary by the year 1408, states: "... On May 25 nachasha podpisyvati great stone church catholic holy Mother of God in the ilk of Great Prince Vladimir commandment, and the master Danilo Ikonnikov yes Andrei Rublev". Later, the name of Rublev disappeared from the pages of annals, but appeared in the lives of famous Russian saints - Sergius and Nikon Radonezh. According to the testimony of these sources, the outstanding master with his "spostnikom" Daniel took part in the work of decorating the interiors of white stone churches - Holy Trinity in the Trinity-Sergius Monastery (about 1425) and in the Holy Saviour Monastery Andronikova (1427).
