St. Laurus 1400

Andrei Rublev's "St. Laurus" is a fresco from 1400 and exemplifies the artist's mastery of the Byzantine style. Depicted in the Dormition Church on Gorodok, Zvenigorod, Russia, the icon portrays St. Laurus, a revered Orthodox saint, within a series of concentric circles. The saint's serene expression, formalized posture, and the use of gold for his halo and background are characteristic of Eastern Christian iconography. This fresco showcases Rublev's ability to convey spiritual presence through a minimalist yet impactful style.
