“The history of art knows artists whose names became legendary soon after their death. Among such legendary masters is he, the “Russian Raphael,” as our grandfathers called him, the “Russian Beato Angelico,” as it would be more correct to call him these days, if we resort to Italian comparisons: they are not only contemporaries, they were not only monks and for one the popular memory has retained the nickname “victorious”, and for the other “blessed”.

Such features as: an exceptional sense of rhythm, a sense of color harmony that no one else has so clearly expressed, a sense of color harmony, an extraordinary spirituality of the concept. One of these rare gifts would have been enough to distinguish the artist from his contemporaries and ensure his unfading fame; he mastered all three, and that is why the admiration for the “Trinity” of archaeologists and artists, realists and stylists, Russians and foreigners is so unanimous. Perfect and beautiful, this work answers all requests, satisfies all desires.”
