The greatest artist of Ancient Rus' was Andrei Rublev. Born in the 60s of the 14th century, died between 1427 and 1430. He was a monk of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery - an artist-monk in the Middle Ages - a common phenomenon. Contemporaries revered Rublev not only as a skilled craftsman: he was called “a humble monk, a perfect man in virtue, surpassing everyone in wisdom,” in other words, a man of pure, lofty thoughts and a rare mind. We know little about his life and work. His first known works date back to 1405. He works with Theophanes the Greek and Prokhor from Gorodets in the Annunciation Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. And three years later, together with Daniil Cherny, he painted the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir with new frescoes. Both orders were very responsible: the Annunciation Cathedral is the grand-ducal palace temple. The Vladimir Assumption Cathedral is one of the most revered temples in Ancient Rus', the subject of the tireless care of the Grand Dukes of Moscow; little-known craftsmen could not be involved in their implementation. These works define the character of Andrei Rublev's work: delicate shades of colors, solemn but light and slender figures, calm, enlightened faces. Even the saints of the traditional composition of the Last Judgment are filled with kindness and compassion for the poor sinner. Rublev painted three magnificent icons with half-length figures of Christ, an angel and the Apostle Paul. Especially good is Christ, the so-called “Savior of Zvenigorod,” now kept in the Tretyakov Gallery. A majestic, calm face, a soulful gaze directed directly at the viewer and expressing lively and active attention to him; soft contours with transparent shadows laid along them and amazingly found color combinations that involuntarily give rise to musical associations - all this speaks of the remarkable talent of the master. The most famous icon of Andrei Rublev is “Trinity”. Three golden-haired, golden-winged angels are sitting around a low table, their heads are bowed, sorrow is frozen in their eyes, their lips are closed. The middle one inquiringly points to the bowl with the head of the sacrificial calf. The gesture of the angel sitting on the left, full of mournful solemnity, seems to confirm the inevitability of the sacrifice and, as if echoing him, the one on the right slowly lowers his hand. Everything here is subordinated to the melodious rhythm of the lines and the beauty of the silhouette. The colors of the icon are light and transparent, complement each other, echo each other. The colorful transitions are very gentle, this was noticed by contemporaries, they said that Andrei “writes like smoke.” The content of the icon has become universal. The placement of figures in a circle, repetitions of contours, direction of views and movement towards one center - a bowl on the table - evoke the idea of the unity of thoughts and actions of the characters. Calm poses, smooth rhythm of lines, pure colors give rise to a feeling of peace, silence, harmony. This is precisely what has always been lacking on earth. And, perhaps, many of Rublev’s contemporaries, just like us now, admiring his icon, see in it the embodiment of their cherished dreams. Andrei Rublev wrote "Trinity" in one of those happy moments of inspiration that only geniuses have.

Name Andrey for a boy
When choosing a name for a boy, parents predict his fate. Indeed, translated from Greek, this word means “brave.” In childhood, Andryusha, Andreika, Andreychik, Andi, Andy, Dyusha (that’s what they call him when he’s small) is a calm and quiet child, but at the same time energetic. He can run around the house, playing outdoor games, or assemble, for example, a construction set alone, composing imaginary objects. At this time, you can hardly hear him, since he does not require attention. Little Andrei is especially close to his mother; he is gentle and affectionate with her. But he doesn’t want to obey and obey, because he is very obstinate, capricious and stubborn. The boy often argues with his father, proving that he is right. But you shouldn’t focus on this. After all, by nature Andrey is conflict-free, diligent, patient, purposeful, dreamy, and self-confident. If a child has a brother, then he is friends with him, but relations with his sister do not develop in the best way. Andrei constantly conflicts with her, and does not concede in anything.

But later it turns out that the teenager is far ahead of his peers in development, he achieves everything in life, and his affairs are going well. He achieves this thanks to his analytical mind, penchant for design and programming. The guarantees of his success are determination and concentration.
But a boy in adolescence tries to avoid any responsibility.

Marriage and compatibility of the name Andrey
Andrey takes marriage lightly. When choosing a life partner, he first of all pays attention to appearance - a woman should be beautiful, tall, elegant, smart, self-possessed, and Andrei is of little interest to her inner world and character. The main desire of a man is not love, but the impression made. True, with a representative of the opposite sex he is attentive and gentle.
In his youth, Andrei is quite fickle. He changes girls often, sometimes every day. It seems to them that the man is frank with them, does not hide anything, and tells everything about himself. But this is not so - Andrei will never pour out his soul, will not reveal his innermost thoughts.
The man loves compliments and flattery. If a woman wants to attract attention, she should not skimp on beautiful words. In addition, Andrei will never forgive his partner for betrayal, although he himself often goes “on the side.” Sometimes he is jealous of his wife even towards his children, and his relationship with his wife’s mother is quite tense.
A man named Andrey fully provides for his family, but all household chores fall on the shoulders of his wife. He forbids her to even think about a career, since a woman is obliged to take care of him and the children, to be a sexy housewife. The wife should be stronger in character, she should set new goals and objectives for him. In addition, she is forced to endure her husband’s stubbornness and tight-fistedness. The impulsive and unpredictable Andrei can give his wife a very expensive gift, and next time he can spare the money for a penny item for use in the household. For Andrei, social values are one step higher than mercy and kindness, although he loves his family very much.
But it happens that a man cannot create a social unit because he chooses a woman too carefully based on characteristics known only to him. Not finding an emotional, outwardly spectacular beauty, he may end up spending his entire life alone. But having gotten married, Andrei, out of a sense of duty, never destroys the family, even if the marriage is unsuccessful.
