Andrei Rublev's iconic "Christ in Majesty" (1408), housed in the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir, Russia, is a renowned masterpiece of Russian religious art. The icon depicts Christ enthroned against a striking background of geometric shapes in red, black, and gold, symbolizing the divine presence. Christ holds an open book, representing the divine word, while his serene expression and the intricate details of his robes evoke a sense of reverence and spiritual grandeur. The artwork's simple yet powerful composition and its use of symbolic imagery have made it a revered symbol of faith for centuries.
