On December 14, the exhibition “Great Russian Isographs” from the collection of the Voronezh Regional Museum of Local Lore begins in the Voronezh Regional Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy.

The exhibition presents 3 paintings by the famous Voronezh artist, Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR, laureate of the Sergei Radonezhsky Prize, honorary citizen of Voronezh, public figure Vasily Pavlovich Krivoruchko: “Andrey Rublev. Trinity”, “Dionysius”, “Theophanes the Greek”.

The funds of the Voronezh Regional Museum of Local Lore contain a large collection of works by this artist on the theme of the history of Russia.

The golden age of Russian icon painting was the XV century – the time of the rise of the spiritual forces of the nation focused in the works of great artists Feofan the Greek, Andrei Rublev and Dionysius. If Theophan the Greek icon is a sermon of the Divine light, the greatness of God, then Andrei Rublev is a prayer, contemplation, deepening into the mystery of the communion of the Holy Trinity. For Dionysius, it is hymnography, music, a symphony of the highest divine spheres.

Before starting work on his paintings, Vasily Pavlovich studied Russian chronicles and historical documents. The master said: “It doesn’t seem to me – I am convinced that I personally know Andrei Rublev, Theophan the Greek, Dionysius…”. And looking at the paintings of the painter, you are completely convinced of this. Only a person close in spirit to these ancient Russian masters could so truthfully, so reliably recreate the images of the three geniuses of Russian icon painting. The name of this man is Vasily Pavlovich Krivoruchko.
Age limit: 0+
