My outing today was to find one of the best art Gallerys in moscow and in particular to find a painting called 'The Trinity'
It was only one stop on the metro and short walk to the Gallery. Some amazing art work telling the russian story in pictures.
There was a section for the russian icon work and this itself tells it own story of the history of Russian and the various influences. so it was good to spend a couple of hours just wandering & wondering.
I have been studying this particular piece of art in preparation for some cadet lectures I will do next month. Check out Andrei Rublev - The Trinity on the web. This is an amazong piece of work that brings together our understanding of the trinity - and for the orthodox it is seen as one of their most iconinc and famous pieces of work from the 15th century.
