History of the Andrey Rublev Museum

The Andrei Rublev Museum was established by a government decree on December 10, 1947. The initiator of the creation of the museum was Pyotr Dmitrievich Baranovsky (1892-1984), a famous restorer architect who did a lot to preserve ancient Russian artistic heritage. The organization of the museum saved the architectural ensemble of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery from destruction, within whose walls the great icon painter Andrey Rublev worked and was buried. The founding of the museum was timed to coincide with the celebration of the 800th anniversary of Moscow.

The first director of the museum in 1949 was David Ilyich Arsenishvili (1905-1963), museum enthusiast, founder of the Theater and Literary museums in Tbilisi, and the first researcher was Natalya Alekseevna Demina (1904-1990), one of the outstanding researchers of ancient Russian art, an expert on the work of Andrei Rublev.

In the early 1950s, a young art critic, Irina Aleksandrovna Ivanova, came to the museum. Through the efforts of these people, the first scientific expeditions were organized, and the formation of the museum's collections began. Its employees often saved works of ancient Russian art from destruction, taking them out of churches and some peripheral local history museums, which did not know how and were afraid to store works that were dubious from the point of view of the ideology of that time. The first receipts in the museum were several icons of the XVI-XVII centuries. from Vladimirsky local history museum and an iconostasis complex from the Cathedral of the Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery in Suzdal, created in the 1660s.

At the same time, research was carried out scientific restoration architectural ensemble monastery, primarily the white-stone Spassky Cathedral of the early 15th century - the oldest surviving monument of architecture in Moscow, as well as other monastic buildings.

The museum was opened to visitors on September 21, 1960. This year was declared by UNESCO as the year of celebrating the 600th anniversary of Andrei Rublev, and the opening of the museum became one of major events anniversary days. At that time, the museum collection consisted of only 317 monuments. Today, thanks to numerous expeditions, acquisitions, as well as valuable offerings, the museum has about 10 thousand icons, works of arts and crafts, originals and copies of frescoes, manuscripts and early printed books, archeological monuments.

Museum named after Andrei Rublev took a special place among others Russian museums. It has become the only museum of fine arts of the Russian Middle Ages in the country, covering a huge stage of history spanning more than seven centuries. Since its opening, the museum has been a real informal cultural center, where the Moscow intelligentsia flocked, discovering earlier unknown world ancient Russian fine arts. In the 1960s, a new generation of researchers came to the museum, among them G.V. Popov, who is now its director, as well as K.G. Tikhomirova, V.V. Kirichenko, A.S. Loginova, V.N. Sergeev, L.M. Evseeva, I.A. Kochetkov. At that time, the museum carried out especially numerous expeditions, thanks to which the museum collection expanded significantly. The collection was replenished with the help of purchases from private owners, collectors, in antique and second-hand bookshops. A lot of works detained while trying to illegally export abroad were transferred to the museum government organizations: customs, internal affairs and state security agencies. Friends of the museum, private collectors also made an active contribution to the replenishment of the museum collection with their generous gifts. Among them G.D. Kostaki and artist V.Ya. Sitnikov

It includes the most significant works of the museum collection, giving a holistic view of the history and development of Russian icon painting from the 12th to the beginning of the 18th century.

The exposition is organized chronologically and is divided into two large sections dedicated to Russian fine arts antiquity (Painting of the 12th - early 16th century) and the late Middle Ages (Painting of the 16th - early 18th centuries). Within the sections of the exposition, separate art centers(plans-schemes of expositions of the first and second floors).

The section of the exhibition Paintings of the 12th - early 16th centuries is located on the second floor. In the premises of the Church of the Archangel Michael, the oldest icons of the collection and monuments of icon painting of Peter I by the boyar Lev Naryshkin in his estate near Moscow are presented and is a vivid example of the architecture of the so-called Naryshkin style (or baroque). It is distinguished by the use of unconventional ancient Russian architecture solutions for the plan and volumetric composition, orientation to European samples in white stone carving.

The church has altars in the summer and winter temples. The upper, summer, in the name of the Savior Not Made by Hands, has almost completely retained the original decoration of the interior. The gilded carving of the iconostasis, choirs and the royal box was made by the best Moscow carvers. Icons for the iconostasis are written outstanding artists from among the royal masters of the Armory Chamber, Kirill Ulanov and Karp Zolotarev.

Andrei Rublev Museum of Ancient Russian Art June 25th, 2014

This Moscow museum has a very long name - the Andrei Rublev Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art and is located on the territory of the former Spaso-Andronikov Monastery.
The monastery was founded in 1357 by Metropolitan Alexy and named after the first hegumen, Andronik, a disciple of Sergius of Radonezh. On the territory of the monastery, the oldest church on the territory of Moscow, the Spassky Cathedral, was preserved, it was erected in the 1420s.
The greatest Russian icon painter Andrei Rublev worked here, he died in the monastery and was buried in 1427 or 1430.

Holy Gates of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery.

The oldest church on the territory of Moscow is the Spassky Cathedral, it was erected at the beginning of the 15th century. True in 1959-1960. the cathedral was reconstructed - kokoshniks and the head were completed by restorers. There is reason to believe that they made the drum too narrow, perhaps the original top of the cathedral was more massive.

The architectural ensemble of the monastery - the Cathedral of the Savior and the Church of the Archangel Michael (1691 - 1739)

The Spassky Cathedral was painted by Andrei Rublev and Daniil Cherny, both of them were monks of the Andronikov Monastery, but unfortunately, almost nothing of their frescoes remains. As nothing remained of their graves, although it is known that both painters were buried on the territory of the monastery.

In 1691, the wife of Peter I, Evdokia Lopukhina, founded a new church - the Archangel Michael. The church was attached to the old refectory built in 1504-1506. The result was an old Russian skyscraper in the Naryshkin style, although somewhat ascetic, since Lopukhina was never able to finish the temple, falling into royal disfavor in 1698, the church was completed after her death. The building has several floors, the first tier became the tomb of the Lopukhins, and the church was placed at the top. The building now houses the permanent exhibition of the museum.

The refectory chamber of the Andronikov Monastery (1504-1506). View from the outside, from the Yauza River. One of the oldest such structures in Moscow.

The fraternal building of the early 18th century and part of the fortress fence of the monastery.

In the photo below, the remains of the necropolis. The first burials on the territory of the monastery date back to the 14th century; soldiers who died on the Kulikovo field were buried here.
Once the Spaso-Andronikov necropolis was not inferior to the cemetery of the Donskoy Monastery in terms of the number of tombstones and the richness of their design. Representatives of many Russian aristocratic families found their last refuge here - the Zagryazhskys, Zamyatins, Golovins, Saltykovs, Trubetskoys, Naryshkins, Stroganovs, Volkonskys, Baratynskys, Demidovs, etc.

Since the 17th century, the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery has become the family tomb of the noble family of the Lopukhins. Parents and brothers of Empress Evdokia Feodorovna, the first wife of Peter I, are buried here - a total of more than 40 people.

But in the 20th century, under the Bolsheviks, the cemetery was destroyed. Some remains of tombstones and sarcophagi are stacked near the monastery wall.

My other posts dedicated to Russia.

The Museum of Old Russian Culture and Art is located on the territory of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery (I will talk about the monastery in a separate post), founded in the middle of the 14th century and associated with the Battle of Kulikovo and other events of Russian history and culture.
In ancient architectural monument Moscow, the Spassky Cathedral (20s of the XV century), in the window openings of the altar, frescoes by Andrei Rublev, the great icon painter of Ancient Rus', have been preserved. In this monastery he was a monk and here in 1430 he was buried. His grave has not survived. The most important works of Andrei Rublev are icons, as well as frescoes in the Cathedral of the Assumption in Vladimir (1408). The deisis of the work of Theophan the Greek and Andrei Rublev, as well as the entire golden-domed Church of the Annunciation in the royal court, near the royal treasury, burned down during a great fire in Moscow in 1547.
In the beginning, the museum had only copies and photographs, then they began to bring icons, decommissioned from decay, frescoes taken from the walls. Now there are more than 5 thousand icons in the museum, and among them there are works by Dionysius.
The Andrei Rublev Museum was established on December 10, 1947, and opened to the public on September 21, 1960. The initiator of the creation of the museum was Pyotr Dmitrievich Baranovsky (1892-1984), a famous restorer and architect.
A valuable collection of iconography of the 13th-17th centuries brought world fame to the Andrei Rublev Museum. In 1991, it was included in the list of especially valuable objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation.

Monthly calendar in icons from the collection of the Andrei Rublev Museum Equal-to-the-Apostles TSAR KONSTANTINE AND QUEEN ELENA Around 1853. Moscow Wood, oil; 125 x 89 cm KP 2825 Upper Savior Church of the Church of the Intercession at Fili Flavius ​​Valerius Aurelius Constantine (between 270-275 - 337) was a Roman emperor known as Constantine the Great. He is revered by the Church as Equal-to-the-Apostles thanks to the Edict of Milan adopted in 313, which legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire. This happened after the victory of Constantine over the troops of Maxentius in 312, on the eve of which, according to legend, the emperor saw a Cross in the sky with the inscription: “Sim you will conquer.” In 325, he initiated the convocation of the Council of Nicaea, at which the Arian heresy was condemned. The emperor accepted baptism on the eve of his death. The life of the mother of Emperor Constantine, Equal-to-the-Apostles Empress Helena (250s-330s) is known mainly from the work of Eusebius of Caesarea "The Life of the Blessed Basil Constantine". Elena converted to Christianity at the age of about 60 and at the end of her life undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where, at her will, a successful search for Golgotha, the cave of the burial of Christ and the Cross of the Crucifixion was carried out. The cross was found along with four nails and a tablet with a brief inscription: "Jesus the Nazarene King of the Jews." Queen Elena established the veneration of the acquired relics and erected a temple over the cave of the Holy Sepulcher in honor of the Resurrection of Christ. Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena are traditionally depicted together on either side of the large Cross. The icon, located in the western vestibule of the upper temple of the Church of the Intercession in Fili, was executed around 1853, when work was carried out in the interior to reorganize the decoration of the vestibules at the expense of the merchant I.P. Gladilina.

In 1922, mass seizures of church valuables in churches and monasteries of Moscow took place as part of the declared fight against mass starvation. In the Andronikov Monastery, confiscations began on March 22 - from the shrine that stood in the Spassky Cathedral with the relics of the first abbots, St. Andronicus and Savva, more than 7 pounds of silver (more than 114 kg) were torn off. In April, silver chasubles were removed from icons, 625 diamonds, 125 diamonds, 2 silver crosses with pearls weighing more than 6 pounds (more than 2700 g) were confiscated. Soon after the closing of the monastery, all other valuables were looted, scattered, and taken away. The Andrei Rublev Museum was created in 1947 without a single exhibit - not a single icon, manuscript, ancient monument Andronikov Monastery was not there, the necropolis was ruined, and the Cathedral of the Savior needed urgent emergency work and restoration. In the photo of the beginning of the 20th century - the interior of the Spassky Cathedral and a view of the shrine with the relics of the first abbots, which stood in the aisle.

Today our museum took part in the #MuseumUnity campaign on Facebook. One of our publications was devoted to the most significant list of the Kazan - Moscow Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. We present it to your attention. MOSCOW KAZAN ICON OF THE MOTHER OF GOD. In 1611, near Moscow, occupied by the Poles, from Kazan, with the Kazan militia, a list of the Manifested Kazan Icon was brought, and not the icon itself. This important conclusion was made by historians on the basis of chronicle evidence. With the icon brought from Kazan, in a heavy battle with Hetman A. Khodkevich, the militia of the cities of the Lower Volga and the Cossacks took the Novodevichy Convent, after which this icon began to be revered as miraculous. According to the text “The Tale of the Coming of the Miraculous Image of the Most Pure Mother of God of Kazan under the Reigning City of Moscow, When the Apostates and Destroyers of the Orthodox Faith of the Lithuanian People Always Rapture It”, the icon was brought to Moscow on July 22, 1611 and placed in the stone Church of the Annunciation in the village of Vorontsovo (now st. . Vorontsovo Pole). In late August-early September 1611, a Kazan wooden church was built in Moscow, where the icon was transferred. Due to the difficult situation near Moscow, she stayed here until the beginning of winter, after which she was sent to Yaroslavl with the Kazan archpriest. In the spring of 1612, the militia of Kuzma Minin and Prince Dimitry Pozharsky came to Yaroslavl, and the icon, already famous for miracles, was taken to the regiments, and to Kazan, with the Kazan archpriest and part of the Kazan militia, they sent a list decorated with salary. The Moscow Kazan icon became a regimental one. On October 22, 1612, it was with her that Kitay-Gorod was taken by attack, and soon the Poles surrendered the Kremlin. October 22 (November 4, according to a new style) became the day of the liberation of Russia from the invaders. On the first Sunday after the liberation of the Kremlin, regiments of Russian soldiers converged at Execution Ground on the square called "Fire" (as Red Square used to be called), where the meeting of two miraculous icons took place Mother of God- Kazan and Vladimir, taken out of the Frolovsky (now Spassky) gates of the Kremlin by Archbishop Arseny Elassonsky. After the liberation of the capital, the Moscow Kazan Icon stood in the parish Church of the Presentation of Prince Pozharsky, until 1617 a chapel was built here in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, where Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich listened to Mass. In 1625, by order of the tsar and with the blessing of Patriarch Filaret miraculous icon was decorated with "many utensils" by Prince Pozharsky according to his vow. In 1632, a wooden church was built in Moscow in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God “near the wall” of Kitay-gorod, between the Ilyinsky and Nikolsky gates. It was equal in status to the Kremlin cathedrals. In 1634, this temple burned down, and during the construction of a stone cathedral on this site, it was in the Vvedensky "Golden-domed" temple of Kitay-gorod. After the consecration of the stone Kazan Cathedral on Red Square in Moscow on October 16, 1636, the icon was kept here. She was called "Kazanskaya, which is on the "Fire"". The Moscow Kazan icon belonged to the end of the 16th or early XVII V. A photograph of the icon without a salary has been preserved. In the photograph, the icon looks after the renovations of the 17th-18th centuries, which are evidenced by 2 inscriptions on the bottom field. The icon painter Mikhail Milyutin (Malyutin), who restored the icon of the sovereign, was one of the most gifted students of Simon Ushakov. He was entrusted with the restoration of ancient icons. In 1812, the icon was taken out of the Kazan Cathedral and saved, but without the precious setting taken by the French. By October 22, 1824, at the expense of Moscow merchants D. Lepeshkin and N. Tikhomirov, a new salary was created for the Moscow Kazan Icon, which in 1850-1853. received additional decorations and crowns. At the same time, the icon was placed in a silver kiot (worth 2735 rubles in silver) with figures of soaring angels on the doors and with cherubs on top. In 1918, the Moscow Kazan icon in a precious setting was stolen from the Kazan Cathedral, and its whereabouts are currently unknown. The closest surviving list of the Moscow Kazan icon is the Kazan icon, which is now the most revered in Moscow, in the Cathedral of the Epiphany Elokhov Cathedral, which, as is commonly believed, comes from the Kazan Cathedral on Red Square. The icon was painted at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. in the tradition of lifelikeness. On the lower field of the Kazan icon, under the salary, there is an inscription: "The true image of the gloomy Kazan icon of the Mother of God that is in the Kazan Moscow Cathedral." Comparison of the Moscow Kazan icon and the "Elokhovskaya" without salaries suggests that these are different icons. Photo from pravenc.ru
