During this time, more than 3,500 items were added to his collection. Of course, all the items could not be exhibited in the small hall of the Superior Building, but the staff placed the most valuable and striking works on display.
The presented exhibits can be divided into two categories: actual gifts and works purchased with funds from the Andrei Rublev Museum itself or through the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, at its expense budget funds. The brightest gift recent years was the collection of the famous surgeon G.A. Pokrovsky (1925-2008), transferred in 2009 by his widow M.A. Pokrovskaya. The collection received by the Museum is huge, including more than three hundred exhibits. Among them are examples of icon painting of the 16th century from the Moscow circle of the Grozny era, monuments of Novgorod origin, as well as many works of jewelry.

Acquisition from a private person, 2006. House-museum restoration.
The patients he cured, learning about their doctor’s passion, also, as a sign of gratitude, often gave Gleb Aleksandrovich icons that were kept in their families and seemed unnecessary. G.A. Pokrovsky died on March 21, 2008. During his lifetime, he did not have time to dispose of his collection, which he valued very much. At the beginning of 2009, Marfa Andreevna Pokrovskaya, wanting to preserve the memory of her husband and not allow the fruits of his many years of work to dissipate, donated the collection to the Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev.

Champlevé enamel is a technology for applying enamel in which it fills depressions (recesses) made on the surface of the product by engraving, chasing or etching. After firing, the hardened surface of the enamel is ground level with the metal.
Among the famous acquisitions one can note an icon from the prophetic row of the iconostasis with a half-length depiction of the prophet Zechariah from the 1660s-1670s.

Among the acquisitions in 2014, the icon “Carrying the Cross” from the late 17th - early 18th centuries from the passionate row of the iconostasis attracts attention. The image is based on a Western European engraving dating back to the Merian Bible.
Carrying the Cross, from the passionate order. The end of the 17th - beginning of the 18th century. Moscow (?).
Wood, tempera. Acquisition from a private party, 2014. House-museum restoration.
The appeal to Western iconographic models, the voluminous “life-like” painting of faces, the use of new forms in the painting of clothing, architecture and landscape indicate the icon painter’s familiarity with the works of the masters of the Armory Chamber.
Exaltation of the Cross, from the festive series.
Late XVIII - early XIX century. Volga region. Wood, tempera. Dar T.V. Zenkova. 2006
Restorer D.A. Shushakov, head L.Yu. Yasnova. 2007 (RAZHVIZ I.Glazunov).
This is an icon from the holiday series, which, according to available information, comes from the village of Mokhnetsy, Tver region. Its oval shape seems rather unusual to us, but for its time it was quite typical. On this icon the image of the face of the saint raising the Cross has been lost. It was not reconstructed during the scientific restoration. This is precisely why scientific restoration differs from church renewal - it does not involve completing the drawing of lost fragments. At the exhibition you will be able to see other icons from this festive series.
Apostle Peter, from the Deesis rank. End of the 18th century. Russian North.
Workshop of I, I, Bogdanov-Karbatovsky (?). Wood, tempera. Acquisition from a private party, 2013. House-museum restoration.
One of the features of the works of the workshop of Bogdanov-Karbatovsky, a native of the city of Onega, Arkhangelsk region, is the appearance on the icons of images of landscapes reminiscent of his native northern places. And the sermon of the Apostle Peter takes place against the backdrop not of palm trees and deserts, but of our northern expanses. Which does not contradict the worldwide preaching of the Savior’s words.

This is only a small part of the icons presented at the exhibition, but to see everything you will have to visit the museum. And then you will be able to see icons of various icon-painting centers, Greek signature icons, icons of famous Moscow and St. Petersburg companies in amazing settings. But besides icons, other objects of amazing beauty appeared in the museum’s collections.
Double-leaf folding “He rejoices in you”, “Praise the Lord from heaven” in the frame and ark. Second half of the 16th century. Solvychegodsk (?). Stroganov workshops (?). Bone (mammoth tusk), carving. Frame - silver(?), gilding, engraving, carving. Frame - early 17th century. Ark - first half of the 17th century. Purchase from a private person. year 2014.
Such folding structures became widespread in the 16th century. And they were performed by masters from Moscow and Novgorod. This folding is presumably the work of Moscow craftsmen, who could have worked at the invitation of the Stroganovs in their workshops in Solvychegodsk. Particularly rare is the preservation of a silver frame created approximately at the same time as the plates. Unfortunately, in other similar folds the carved plates have survived to this day mostly without a frame. The folding object was purchased from the descendants of Metropolitan Pitirim of Volokolamsk.
Fragment. Double-leaf folding “He rejoices in you”, “Praise the Lord from heaven” in the frame and ark. Second half of the 16th century.
Another item that amazes with its filigree wood carving is a two-leaf panagia. Carving on hardwoods like boxwood and cypress has been practiced since ancient times in the monasteries of Palestine, Egypt, and Greece. It is believed that this activity teaches patience and concentration, so necessary in monastic life. In particular, here you can see the sculpture “Jesus in Prison”, which became widespread in the second half of the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries. The appearance of a sculptural image of the suffering Christ is associated with the New Jerusalem Monastery. Since the monastery was created as a copy of the Jerusalem Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the likelihood of this image appearing in the monastery is quite high. Blocks in the form of a board with slots for the Savior’s feet have still been preserved, which apparently suggested a three-dimensional image.
Christ in prison. End of the 18th century. Wood, gesso, mixed media. Purchase from a private person. year 2013.
In the process of restoration. Restorer A.A. Borisov (CMiAR).
By the end of the 18th century, Christ was no longer depicted naked. In temples, coverings were made for statues. In churches, special dungeons were created where the sculpture was placed. And in the flame of a candle through the window one could see the suffering Christ and touch those events with one’s consciousness. After all, compassion sometimes knocks on our hearts.
