The 17th century Russian art is varied in themes and stylistic trends. It reflects a great tension of spiritual life caused by the events that took place at the beginning of the century: dynastic crisis, peasant movements, national struggle for liberation. Gradually and slowly, in bitter disputes the world view was changing and new conception of an individuals role was taking shape.

In the 1660s Simon Ushakov became a tsar isographer and a leading painter of the Armoury Chamber. His art determined quite an epoch in Russian art. In the course of 22 years he supervised icon-painting in the Armory Chamber. He was a very industrious man of great executive talent and other remarkable abilities. Apart from icons Simon Ushakov painted murals in churches and palaces, made engravings, portraits, wrote treatises on art, made drawings for embroideries, banners and coins. Creative works of the outstanding imperial icon-painter is present in collections of the museum by interesting art monuments of 70-80th years of the XVII century.
Distinctive feature of icons of Simon Ushakov, which is in the collection of the museum, - presence on them of author's signatures. In 1671 B.M. Khitrovo inserted into the Troitsk monastery the small icon "The Assumption of the Virgin". More interesting praying icons, created by Simon Ushakov in 1673. To them concern "John Theologian" and "St.Nikon Radonezhsky". One of the last works of Simon Ushakov in the Troitsk monastery - the icon "The Last Supper", created by him in 1685 for the Uspensky cathedral. Skill of the mature artist showed in full measure here.
