The Rublev Trinity: The Icon of the Trinity by the Monk-Painter Andrei Rublev
Gabriel Bunge with a foreword by Sergei S. Averintsev translation by Andrew Louth
“The icon of the Holy Trinity by the saint and painter-monk Andrei Rublev has at all times aroused a great interest. Previous writings relate the circumstances of its genesis; a church council included it among canonical models; modern authors dedicate to it a constantly growing number of theological and art-historical investigations. The study of this secondary literature alone has become a subject in itself. There can scarcely be any other icon about which so much has been written. [...]Our aim is not to increase the scholarship on Rublev’s icon but rather, above all, to make its timeless message accessible to the contemporary praying believer.” —“Introduction”
