Description 
The metropolitan Alexei founded this monastery overlooking crossings of the Yauza River. It was built as a fortification covering Moscow's eastern approaches in 1360. It covered the area between the Yauza and Moscow. (See Andronikov. ) Its name combines that of the Savior (Spaso) with that of its first abbot (Andronik), who took over when Alexei was called away to heal the favorite wife of a Tartar prince. The monastery's Cathedral of the Savior was built in 1427 and is now the oldest stone building in Moscow. It is adorned with frescoes painted by the master icon-painter Andrei Rublev; Rublev is thought to be buried in the monastery's crypt and a museum dedicated to his work adjoins the building. The Church of the Archangel Michael, built in the baroque style, was commissioned by Peter the Great's mother-in-law in honor of her grandson's birth, although Peter sent her to Siberia soon afterward. The monastery became a popular base for the Old Believers, a schismatic religious sect created when the Patriarch Nikon attempted to reform the Russian Orthodox Church under Peter's father, Tsar Alexis. The monastery also has the Rublev museum of early Russian art, which, however, has none of Rublev's own icons. The master icon painter Andrei Rublev was born around 1360, and is considered one of the greatest Russian artists who ever lived. In a 17th-century text, one can read: "...The revered Andrei of Radonezh, called Rublev, has painted many holy icons, all magnificent." His art, in contrast to the austere asceticism of his contemporary, Theophanes the Greek, reflects a spirituality born of love and understanding, uniting delicate colors and supple contours with a rare tenderness and majesty in his subjects. He decorated many of the Kremlin's structures, as well as various monasteries throughout the "Golden Ring"--the towns that surround Moscow.
