Abstract
The article studies the main and the most interesting part of N. L`vov’s “The Italian Diary”, which is a coherent text with chapters and the author’s notes. The existence of “The Italian Diary” has been known for a long time, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that the theme of the synthesis of the documentary and fictional in the work of Nikolai L`vov has been insufficiently studied so far.
The main tasks of our study are: 1) to analyze the writer’s judgments about European fine arts and architecture; 2) to reveal, based on “The Italian Diary”, the synthesis of the documentary and fictional in N. L`vov’s work.
We begin by examining, in terms of a cultural dialogue, the important remarks of L`vov as an architect: the documentary and fictional elements in “The Italian Diary”. Here, N. L`vоv appears as a professional who vividly presents his architectural ideas and style when commenting on architectural monuments and natural reserves. Next, we focus on the image of L`vov as a connoisseur and aesthete, whose principles are clearly reflected in his remarks about some paintings. In the article, we use such methods of research as biographical, psychological and comparative-typological, as well as some elements of a systemic approach.
