The Trinity FrescoTheophanes the Greek
Three haloed figures sit around a low table, their elongated bodies and sharply modeled faces emerging from a dark, reddish ground. Energetic, sweeping brushstrokes and strong contrasts of light and shadow convey movement within the static composition. Painted in a Byzantine idiom, the fresco (1378) helped define the expressive style of medieval Russian religious painting.
