About this product
Art. : 258-1099

Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol is a classic of Russian literature, writer, playwright, publicist, critic. Gogol's most famous works are the collection "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka", dedicated to the customs and traditions of the Ukrainian people, as well as the greatest poem "Dead Souls".

Gogol had a special character and outlook on the world. Being a very mysterious person, he, like many other of his contemporaries, was fond of drawing. Historian Nathan Eidelman notes that for a man of the XVIII - early XIX centuries, the ability to draw was as important as for us today - the ability to photograph.

Gogol's favorite subject of sketches was architecture. In the drawing, the writer captured the interior of a certain architectural structure. He tried to convey the details of the space, just as the artist does in his sketches and sketches. It is worth noting that Gogol preferred to draw from various real landscapes, rather than invent something, while conveying details quite accurately. Many noted his abilities and predisposition to drawing.

Alexandra Osipovna Smirnova-Rosset wrote: "From Baden, Gogol went with me and my brother for three days to Strasbourg. There, in the cathedral church, he drew ornaments on paper with a pencil over Gothic columns, marveling at the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen who made decorations above each column that were different from others. I looked at his work and was surprised at how clearly and beautifully he drew.

- How well you draw! I said.

"And you didn't know that?" Gogol replied.

A few days later, he brought me a pen-drawn part of the church very skillfully. I admired his drawing, but he said he would draw something better for me, and he tore up this drawing."

Gogol really tried to study painting, but all his attempts remained incomplete, although he had a penchant for drawing since childhood. A page from the notebook of 12-year-old Gogol on botany with a very accurate image of the meadow plant tansy (yarrow) has been preserved. Not being an artist by profession, Gogol behaves like an artist, builds his public image, what in the twentieth century will be called an image, as an artist. He travels around Italy, he is interested in antiquities, he is sybaritic, and finally, he dresses exotically.

Gogol almost does not enliven his writings with drawings, but it is known that for the second edition of "Dead Souls" he personally designed the title illustration - vignette. The writer's sketches have a special magic, because they, like their author, are full of riddles, secrets and charm of a special incomparable mood.
