Abstract

The article deals with the pictorial analogy used in V. Ivanov and André Gide’s works on Dosto-evsky. According to the analogy, the artistic technique of Tolstoy can be associated with the diffused light, while the one of Dostoevsky — with the art of chiaroscuro. We are trying to understand if Gide could have been familiar with the work by Ivanov; what historical, literary and art history works could have served as a common source for this analogy, and how the analogy functions in the works by the two authors.
