“Trinity,” a religious painting and icon created by Andrei Rublev between approximately 1410 and 1420 in Moscow, Russian Federation, is an exemplary work of the Byzantine and Moscow school of icon painting. This piece, painted with tempera on wood, measures 112 x 141 cm and is currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork features three ethereal, haloed figures seated around a white table, symbolizing the Holy Trinity. Each figure is garbed in flowing robes of red, green, and blue hues, signifying their divine status. They gaze contemplatively at a central cup, evoking a sense of sacred serenity. The background showcases a modest structure and a tree, adding to the scene’s spiritual symbolism. The golden backdrop, typical of Byzantine iconography, imbues the scene with a celestial glow, enhancing the transcendental nature of the religious representation.
