This issue of ROSSICA is dedicated to two great Russian artists, Dionisy and Vasily Kandinsky who were divided by four centuries. Both were iconic figures of their time, if Kandisky represents the formation of abstract art, Dionisy epitomised the school of Moscow Icon painting in early 16th century Russia. Both were fascinated by the spirituality of art, both manifested their apocalyptic vision through colour. The issue investigates how Kandinsky‘s theory of the symbolism of colours appears to stem from the medieval mysticism of Dionisy’s frescos. This issue has the most extensive article, ever to be published in English, on Dionisy’s world famous frescos at the Ferapontov Monastery in Northern Russia. Also in this issue: Andrew Moore tells the intriguing story of the Walpole collection and of its connection to the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Ekaterina Andreeva analyses the medieval tradition of the bestiary in movable objects created by contemporary artists Olga and Alexander Florensky.
