ABSTRACT

THE RESTORATIONS ON THE TRINITY ATTRIBUTED TO ANDREI RUBLËV IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BIRTH OF SCIENTIFIC RESTORATION IN MOSCOW IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
The icon of the Trinity attributed to Andrei Rublëv, in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, is undoubtedly the most famous painting of Russian Byzantine art and, also, one of the most celebrated in the entire world artistic production. The artwork underwent restorations in 1904-05, 1918-19 and 1931-32, essential moments for the birth and evolution of modern scientific restoration in the Soviet Union. The article takes into consideration the conservative history of the icon, using the documents kept in the Manuscripts Department of the Tretyakov Galler Archive in Moscow.

The selected topic is therefore of great interest as there’re no many recent studies on it in Russia and there’s a lack of related materials in foreign languages, Italian included. These circumstances are even more unfair if to consider the precious contribution of foreign or foreign-born restoration professionals in the formation process of the Russian restoration school. An accurate investigation of the State Tretyakov Gallery’s Archive in Moscow allowed the author to fill this gap and to provide the relevant information about the interventions of the early Twentieth century. The scientifically-based approach of these interventions was strongly linked to the previous, difficult and not always successful way of the early Russian restoration and conservation practice.
