The book "masterpieces of Russian icon painting" is not a special publication for art historians. It is intended for those who love Russian art and want to understand the complex and beautiful world of icon painting. The book includes the most famous and revered icons (more than 800) For example, the “Trinity” and “Savior” A. Rublev, "saved the non -commercial" F. Ushakov, the icons of the Mother of God (Vladimir, Tikhvin, Smolensk, Don, Kazan, Iverskaya), Icons dedicated to Christian holidays, icons of revered saints. The available text that reveals the plot of the icon telling about the history of its acquisition or creation will be understandable to everyone who is interested in the spiritual heritage of the Russian people. The book consists of small thematic chapters. They are devoted to the most important topics in icon painting, iconographic types, famous icons, as well as the images of saints and holidays. Such a structure gives the publication to a certain extent an encyclopedic character, helping more deeply and more fully to perceive the phenomenon of icon painting, including in a religious-historical context. The icon carries important information that is far from always clear to an unprepared person from the 21st century. It is this understanding that our book should help. However, it should be bought just in order to see Russian icons in all their beauty and diversity. The uniqueness of the book is also in a large collection of icons. A unique book that combines a simple and affordable text that reveals the plot of the icon, as well as telling about the history of its acquisition or creation, will be clear to everyone who is interested in the spiritual heritage of the Russian people. The book can be distributed both in bookstores and in specialized stores of the Orthodox book
