Nº 157
Trinity
Andrei Rublev was a Russian monk who painted around 1425. The Trinity is the visit of three angels to Abraham at Mamre in Genesis — but Rublev arranged them as a perfect circle around a central chalice, using pure geometry to argue for the doctrine of the Trinity. It is considered the greatest surviving Russian icon. Now at the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow. Now at Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow @tretyakov_gallery
