Hesychazmo idėjos šv. Andriejaus Rubliovo kūryboje. [I d] : [pradžia nr. 49, pabaiga nr. 51]

Abstract

Andrei Rublev was not only a scholar and native of Russia, but also of Byzantine culture as well as of the Orthodox Church, which reached far beyond the Russian borders. His artistic work became part of the Byzantine and Greek art tradition, and his most important teacher was Theophanes the Greek. Rublev was a person, Christian and monk who grew up in the Christian spiritual tradition, which was based on the teachings of the Fathers of the Church and the spiritual doctrine of Mount Athos. Thus, in writing about Rublev as a great painter and saint, a whole treasure of Eastern Rite spiritual culture is revealed. The most famous Russian icon painter of all times, Rublev was considered by his contemporaries to be a just and holy man with high moral standards. He distinguished himself by diligently upholding the rule of a monk's life, by fasting, humility and concentrating on spirituality. His art is a witness not only to his artistry, but also to his spiritual maturity. The ideas of Hesychasm, common in the lives of monks in the Eastern Church, left very deep marks on his art. Rublev's works were very highly acclaimed by his contemporaries. His Trinity became an example of mastery to all icon painters. The composition of this particular icon reflects a subtle hesychastic world view, and it shows the sending of the Holy Spirit into the world. The wondrous Trinity icon draws our attention to the Holy Spirit, as well as to its mysterious, inspiring and spiritual development of mankind in the history of humanity and in everyone's heart.[...]
