Church of Andrei Rublev on the upper Maslovka. Temple of St.

Andrey Rublev in Ramenki

Andrey Rublev in Ramenki truly unique. Rublev was canonized as a saint not so long ago (1988), but it is unique not for this, but for the fact that it was created in honor of the artist. His work is one of the pinnacles of not only Russian but also world culture. Rublev is a recognized master of the Moscow school of icon painting, and in Soviet times he brought a lot cultured people to the church.

The idea of ​​building a temple has been brewing since 1994. The projects were offered as standard ones until Mikhail Filippov got involved. He proposed his vision of the future temple, and his project was approved almost immediately.

Construction work began in 2008, the monastery was consecrated in February 2010, but improvement work continued for several more years.

Unlike many new churches, this one did not incorporate the entire decorative arsenal of ancient Russian architecture, but focused on early Moscow architecture. In style, it resembles the Cathedral of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery, where Andrei Rublev is buried. This is a large two-tier building with a semicircular volume. The covered staircases and light perspective arcades surrounding it with changes in tiers resemble the silhouette of either ancient city, or a monastery. The temple - strict and elegant - demonstrates a delicate balance between elements of medieval and classical architecture.

In 1996, construction began on the site of a small chapel Church-Chapel of the Intercession Holy Mother of God in Ramenki. It was built according to the design of architects A. N. Obolensky and D. S. Sokolov. In 2000, it was moved from the construction site (to make way for the construction of the Andrei Rublev Temple) and consecrated on Christmas Eve 2001.

Today at Church of Andrei Rublev in Ramenki work Sunday School, charity group, Temperance Society, parish youth organization.

On October 17, 1428, the famous Russian painter Andrei Rublev died. In 1988 he was canonized as a venerable Local cathedral Russian Orthodox Church. We decided to remember the most famous cathedrals, which were painted by Andrei Rublev.

Blagoveshchensky cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin

It is located on Cathedral Square Moscow Kremlin. This is one of the oldest cathedrals in Moscow. It was founded at the end of the 14th century as the home temple of the grand ducal family. Andrei Rublev, together with Theophan the Greek, painted icons for him in 1405. One of the most famous icons, which most experts attribute to Andrei Rublev's "Annunciation". In Orthodoxy, the feast of the Annunciation is celebrated on April 7. The icon is dedicated to one of the most important Christian holidays, in which one remembers good news, brought by Archangel Gabriel. The plot of the Annunciation icon is built on the central episode of the event - the dialogue between Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary. There is no crowding of figures in this icon; the golden background and bright red spots add festiveness to the icon. The icon of Andrei Rublev is full of hope, joy, love and philanthropy, deep inner strength and concentration, divine power and solemnity. Andrei Rublev in his work often turned to Byzantine and Greek style painting icons. In “The Annunciation” he took only the best of these styles and created his own unique style, which would later be called the “Russian school of icon painting.”

Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir

This is one of the few churches in which frescoes by Andrei Rublev have been preserved. In Vladimir, Rublev worked together with the icon painter Daniil, who later became his best friend. What exactly was accomplished by Rublev and Daniil is not known for certain. Andrei Rublev worked in this cathedral in 1408. He owns the painting of the northern and southern slopes of the central nave of the Assumption Cathedral " Last Judgment”, frescoes on the vault of the central nave “Angel Holding a Scroll”, painting of the zenith of the arch of the central nave “Symbols of the Four Kingdoms”, frescoes “Apostles with Angels”, also frescoes of the apostles Semyon, John, Matthew and Luke. At one time, the cathedrals of Vladimir and Moscow argued about the ownership of Andrei Rublev’s icon “Our Lady of Vladimir”. Now it is kept in the Central Museum ancient Russian culture and art named after Andrei Rublev. Luke was the first to paint this icon in the year 450. Then Prince Yuri Dolgoruky ordered himself a copy of this image, but Andrei Rublev wrote his own “ Our Lady of Vladimir» already from the first copy. This icon is one of the most famous works of Andrei Rublev.

Trinity Cathedral in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra

Andrei Rublev, together with Daniil Cherny and other masters, painted the Trinity Cathedral of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra in 1425-1427. The icon of Andrei Rublev “St. Life-Giving Trinity"attracted thousands of pilgrims from all over Russia. Now the famous “Trinity” can be seen in Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. In the center of the icon are three angels, they are sitting at a table, and behind them there is a mountain, a tree and a house. The plot is taken from the Bible. Three angels mean the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The bowl on the table is a symbol of wisdom and life. According to some versions, the icon depicts the Holy Grail. Jesus drank from it at the Last Supper, after which he was betrayed by his disciple Judas. The painting of the Trinity Cathedral has not survived, since in 1635 it was replaced with a new one due to disrepair. The complex preserved in the temple belongs to the Rublev era. After completing the work at the Trinity Cathedral, Andrei Rublev and Daniil returned to Moscow to the Andronikov Monastery.

The temple is being built according to the “200 temples” program.

In January 2002, Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II blessed an initiative group of famous Russian artists - Valentin Sidorov, Andrei Gorsky, Vadim Shelov, Viktor Ivanov, Geliy Korzhev and others - for the construction of the temple St. Andrew Rublev in the Town of Artists. The idea of ​​building a temple on Verkhnyaya Maslovka was supported by residents of the area and leading craftsmen visual arts. In accordance with the artistic design, the temple should lead the architectural ensemble of the Town.

The place for the church in the name of the greatest Russian icon painter and artist was not chosen by chance. At the intersection of the Moscow streets Verkhnyaya Maslovka and Petrovsko-Razumovskaya Alley in the 30s of the twentieth century, the “Moscow Montmartre” appeared - the Town of Artists, the only complex of buildings in the world specially built for the work and life of masters of fine art. Each of them is a monument to the history of culture and architecture. On these houses you can find memorial plaques dedicated to outstanding Russian artists Grabar, Gerasimov, Plastov, Pimenov, Chuikov, Baburin, Kibrik. Painters, sculptors, and artists still live and work here today. The town is often confused with the “artists’ village” on Sokol, however, unlike the one-story “village,” the multi-story blocks of “Moscow Montmartre” are one of the most striking examples of socialist avant-garde architecture.

In 2004, with the blessing of the Patriarch, a community was registered in the name of St. Andrey Rublev. In 2005, by Decree His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus' appointed priest Vladimir Leonov as rector of the temple. Since then, on the last Sunday of every month, prayer services are held for St. Andrei Rublev. Previously, parishioners gathered in the studio of the artist Grigory Tsyplakov-Taezhny, now prayers are served on the site of the future temple or in the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Petrovsky Park.

The community has been seeking permission to build for more than 10 years. Finally, by order of the Committee on Architecture and Urban Planning of the City of Moscow dated October 29, 2012, the Urban Development Plan was approved land plot for the construction of a temple at st. Verkhnyaya Maslovka, vl.2.

On November 2, 2013, at the construction site of the church of St. Deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation V. I. Resin, who oversees the “200 temples” program, visited Andrei Rublev. Together with Vladimir Resin, the site of the future temple was visited by the Chairman of the Board of the Foundation “Support for the Construction of Moscow Temples” Bishop Tikhon of Podolsk, Dean of the All Saints District Archpriest Sergius Dikiy, the author of the temple project Olga Barannikova, representatives of the Foundation “Support for the Construction of Moscow Churches”, as well as employees prefectures of the Northern Administrative District and other officials. A decision was announced to start construction as soon as possible.

On February 22, 2016, the consecration of the foundation stone installed in the foundation of the church of St. Andrei Rublev under construction on Verkhnyaya Maslovka took place.

On September 3, 2016, in the church of St. Andrei Rublev on Verkhnyaya Maslovka, the rite of erecting the cross on the dome was performed. This significant event occurred less than six months after the consecration of the foundation stone at the construction site. Bishop Paramon, Bishop of Bronnitsky, vicar of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus', served a solemn prayer service and consecrated the cross.

October 30, 2016 became another significant date in the history of the Church of St. Andrei Rublev on Verkhnyaya Maslovka. On this day Divine Liturgy It was no longer in the basement, but in the holy temple itself.
