The icon "Holy Trinity," painted by Andrei Rublev, has been returned to the iconostasis of the Trinity Cathedral at the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, RBC reports citing Meduza. According to the publication, this took place on October 5.
Previously, the original icon had been temporarily replaced with a copy. The replacement was prompted by a malfunction in the climate chamber — specialized equipment that maintains the required temperature and humidity conditions for the storage and display of this ancient Russian painting.
The "Trinity" icon is considered one of the most important works of medieval Russian art and is associated with the name of the Venerable Andrei Rublev, one of the most celebrated icon painters of the 15th century. Due to the unique artistic and historical value of the artifact, its preservation demands strict adherence to climate conditions, violations of which can damage the paint layer and the panel of the icon.
The report does not specify how long the climate chamber had been out of service or what measures were taken to repair it before the original was returned to its place.
The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is one of the largest active monasteries of the Russian Orthodox Church and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
