The article concerns some stylistic features of the 17th century icon of the “Holy Trinity” from the Troitse-Gledensky monastery near Veliky Ustyug. The author examines other meanings devoted to this image and also tells about some new early documentation which containing information about it. They prove, that it was in the past an extremely important icon of the Trinity cathedral. Investigating its style, the author identifies the closest stylistic analogies as the icons created by the famous Russian painter Fiodor Zubov from the late 1750s to the early 1760s. New iconographic sources of the icon are named for the first time. The early work of Fiodor Zubov and “Holy Trinity” are considered as belonging to the official “luxurious” style of Russian painting.
