Andrei Rublev - Legacy

Legacy

Andrei Rublev is honored with a feast day on the liturgical of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America on 29 January.

Since 1959 the Andrei Rublev Museum has been open at the Andronikov Monastery, displaying the art of his works and his epoch.

In 1966, Andrei Tarkovsky made his celebrated film Andrei Rublev, loosely based on the artist's life and "the first (and perhaps only) film produced under the Soviets to treat the artist as a world-historic figure and the rival religion of Christianity as an axiom of Russia’s historical identity" during a turbulent period in the history of Russia.
