The Russian icon represents the most significant art form in Russian religious art. Probably the most famous Russian icon in Russian art and art throughout the world is Rublev’s Old Testament Trinity. The iconographer of the early Eastern and Western churches used similar styles until the renaissance. The Orthodox Church continues this style to this day. The technique of writing the Russian icon evolved from Byzantine art of the Byzantine Empire. The iconographer of Russia use painter’s manuals that originated in the golden age of Byzantine art. This early religious Russian art and Byzantine art provided the foundation for the development of secular and non-secular art and greatly affected the course of art history throughout the western world. The Russian icon and Byzantine art therefore possess unique significance and importance in the world of art. The iconographer prayed and fasted before writing his religious art and thus the iconographer never signed their work because it was inspired by the Holy Sprit. The religious art of these early churches provide a visual representation of biblical events, figures, and saints and educate the viewer in the teachings of the Old and New Testaments. They inspire a quiet meditation towards the quest for spiritual growth, understanding and truth. Another distinguishing characteristic of iconography from Russia and Byzantine art is their timelessness. The prototypic images of saints and feast days seen in the early iconography of the Orthodox Church has remained relatively unchanged throughout the centuries. The images of the feast days and holy figures in iconography follow the traditional prototypes prescribed by the early Orthodox Church in order to carry out their functional purpose to teach and allow for meditations of the Word of God.
