Andrey Rublev Monument
Located just outside the former Spaso-Andronikov Monastery is a statue of the 15th century icon and fresco painter, Andrey Rublev. Rublev is probably the greatest of Russia's icon painters, famous for his Trinity Icon but made all the more famous by Andrey Tarkovsky's ground breaking and critically-acclaimed 1966 film about him. This location was chosen for this statue as Rublev worked at the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery and died there in 1428. Now the monastery has even become a museum named after him, the Andrey Rublev Central Museum of Ancient Culture and Art.
