Russian icon painting

Byzantine icons appeared in Russia together with the sacred books and servants of the new faith. According to their sample, Russian masters began to create their own. Of course, the Byzantine canon, rooted in Russian soil, could not remain unchanged for a long time. It was transformed and absorbed into a new tradition - paints, names and images. Since the XI century, the originality of Russian icon painting is becoming more noticeable. Massive, heavy shapes, sharp lines, color contrasts and lighting. Less refined lightness, but more power, stronger emotional impact. The album includes works of icon painters, starting with Andrei Rublev, Feofan Greek and Dionysius
