Novgorod School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Novgorod School is a Russian school noted for its icon and mural painters active from the 12th century through the 16th century in Novgorod. During this time, the Russian artists preserved Byzantine traditions, influenced by Theophanes the Greek, which became the framework for later Russian art. After the 16th century, Russian art moved towards the more cosmopolitan art of the Moscow School.
