In ancient times there was a unity of word and image: the image was the word and the word was the image. The language of images for many centuries remained the most important.
Artists strove to achieve the expressive possibilities of the word in their paintings. There is a certain narrative quality to early painting that shows the rivalry between artists and writers.
At the same time, writers tried not to yield to painters in describing the appearance of people and nature. Nowadays, the problem of the interaction of different types of art is still relevant.
Literature is always part of the writer’s soul. It allows you to feel the unity of man and the world. Literature lessons develop moral culture and ennoble the human soul. Such types of art as painting and literature have long been closely related.
Painting and literature are inextricably linked by many threads. These types of art complement each other.
Nowadays, the image is no longer the only way to express human thought. The word can convey more subtle shades of feelings and emotions.
We also conclude that painting has always influenced fiction. Many writers have been inspired by the work of famous artists, creating their own brilliant works. We cannot deny that literature also has a strong influence on painting, because many paintings with historical and mythological subjects are written according to works of fiction.
