The book talks about the life and creative path of the great Russian artist, who lived in the second half of the 14th and the first third of the 15th century. Based on written sources and works of art that have reached us from that time, the author recreates a picture of the life of the Russian people, who freed themselves from the Mongol-Tatar yoke and, in the most difficult historical conditions, created their own culture and statehood. The world-famous works of Andrei Rublev are considered in inextricable unity with the high ethical ideals of the era. The unique worldview of the artist, thinker and his contemporaries is revealed to the reader.
