Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to show the changes that occurred in Russian church iconography in the 16th century. The authors analyze new iconographic plots that appeared in the 16th century, such as the “New Testament Trinity”, “The Tree of Jesse”, “The Militant Church”, as well as showing plots in which radical changes took place in this century, for example, “The Last Judgment”. The iconography of the four-part icon of the Annunciation Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, iconic for 16th-century Moscow iconography, is examined in detail. The main tendency of the era is being restored, consisting in the gradual displacement of historical plots by allegorical-symbolic plots based on the interpretation of the Bible by theologians and on revelations.
