Abstract
The article is devoted to the novel “Rome” by Nikolay Gogol, in which the author recreated the image of Eternal town in the year 1840. Into the words of the character of a novel – young roman prince, which returned to Rome from Paris, the author put his thoughts and emotional impressions by Rome: about greatness of Roman artistic legacy, about the attitude of the town-dwellers to tradition, about national character. It was in Rome that Gogol felt that spiritual liberty in the creative work, which he was deprived of in Russia. Great love for Italy, its people, history and culture of this country are inherent in the lines of Gogol's story. In Rome, many monuments of architecture, culture and art are concentrated. This is what is interesting in the subject of artistic exposition and research. As the epicenter and source of European culture, Rome for thousands of years has attracted the attention of artists in search of inspirational images, including the image of the city.
