Transfiguration, by Theophanes the Greek, 1408
Theophanes the Greek was the teacher of Andrei Rublev, the great Russian icon painter. In the beginning, the two were master and student; later, they became collaborators.
This icon shows us another theophany in which Christ is revealed as the Son of God. (The first time occurs in the Baptism of Christ icon, which has a similar structure. In both revelations, God identifies Christ as the Son of God.) It tells the story in structural detail with the use of color.
