igor grabar, analyzing the difference between italian and french versions of neoclassicism in russia, considered carlo rossi and thomas de thomon the key figures of these branches of the same style. thomas de thomon was "the" principal source for french classicism in russia, complementing utopian fantasies of claude nicolas ledoux with "a new trait that never appeared before – a serious, well-considered understanding, perhaps less dexterity but more depth." grabar noted that thomas de thomon apparently "borrowed" the sweeping shape of the exchange from the stylistic experiments of the french architectural competitions hosted by académie royale d'architecture. yet, he continued, original french designs were never intended for execution in stone; even their authors regarded them as nothing more than an exercise in draftsmanship. unlike them, thomas de thomon "retained the holy virtue of insanity for the sake of beauty" and dared to actually build his ideal of beauty in stone. "he was not a colossus as some represent him now, he was not a palladio and not even a rastrelli. russia has seen greater architects before and after him. but he was a prometheus, who, having stolen the flame of new beauty from the gods in france, brought it to russia."
