Dary Muzeiu imeni Andreia Rubleva, 1957 - 2003 (Works donated to the Andrei Rublev Museum of Medieval Russian Culture and Art)
Moscow: Penaty / Muzei drevnerusskogo iskusstva im. Rubleva, 2003. Pb. This catalogue of the Andrei Rublev Museum of Medieval Russian Culture and Art publishes approximately 500 works of art that were donated to the museum over roughly a half century. Works of icon-painting predominate but the museum also acquired illuminated manuscripts, embroidery, metalwork, fragments of frescoes, all of which are scrupulously catalogued here, and many of them are illustrated in full-page color plates. The provenance of the works is quite varied: some icons originate in Moscow workshops, others in the Urals, and still others are from the Russian North and the Volga region, where Old-Believer workshops were active. 94 p. + 53 pls., 27 cm, approx. 70 color illus., Rus.
