Fifteenth century - the heyday of Old Russian art. The leading center in this era was Moscow, which is associated with the work of the great artists of the century Andrei Rublev and Dionysius. This book traces the most complex processes in the art of post-Rublev time, systematizes and analyzes monuments of painting and miniatures from the middle of the 15th to the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, in which qualitatively new features are outlined. Much attention is paid to the work of contemporaries of Dionysius, including the decorators of the manuscript, who widely used the motifs of late Gothic and Renaissance graphics, the creative biography of Dionysius is examined in detail, and an attempt is made to periodize it. The artistic development of Old Russian art is presented against a wide background of socio-cultural history.
