The State Tretyakov Gallery has opened an exhibition of the legendary icon painter Andrei Rublev; the event is timed to the 650th anniversary of the great Russian artist.
      
      However, it is rather a conventional date, since there is no exact data concerning the birth date of the icon painter. The birth year of Andrei Rublev was chosen at the initiative of the UNESCO.
      
      The exhibition presents both Rublev’s well-known works and fragments of entirely or partly destroyed paintings that are ascribed to the creativity of Rublev and his workshop.
      
      The exhibition Andrei Rublev. The feat of icon-painting will be held till February, 27th, 2011.
