http://orthodoxwiki.org/Andrew_Rublev

Saint Andrei Rublev (1360? - January 29, 1430) is considered one of
the greatest iconographers of all time. He lived in Russia and was
also a monk. His feast day is July 4.

Life and works

Though very few details of his life are known, tradition does give a
basic outline. Andrei (commonly Andrew in English) went to a
monastery, called Holy Trinity Monastery, at a young age and grew up
there. He was greatly influenced by St Sergius of Radonezh, the igumen
of the monastery.

Eventually Andrei decided to become a monk, and with the blessing of
the new igumen of his monastery traveled to another, the Spaso-
Andronikov Monastery, founded by St Andronicus (June 13). There he was
tonsured a monk and began to study iconography under Theophanes the
Greek and a monk named Daniel.

true luminary of the Church, a great hierarch—a theologian, teacher
and hymnographer, best known for writing the Great Canon. His feast
day is celebrated on July 4.

Life

family. Up until seven years of age the boy was mute and did not talk.
However, after communing the Holy Mysteries of Christ he found the
gift of speech and began to speak. And from that time the lad began
earnestly to study Holy Scripture and the discipline of theology.

At fourteen years of age he went off to Jerusalem and there he
accepted monastic tonsure at the monastery of St. Sava the Sanctified.
St. Andrew led a strict and chaste life, he was meek and abstinent...
