Émaux et Camées by Théophile Gautier
"Émaux et Camées" by Théophile Gautier is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. The work reflects Gautier's artistic aesthetics, combining themes of beauty, art, and sensuality throughout various pieces. The poems explore seductive images and metaphors, invoking a rich interplay of emotions and visual art that captivate the reader. The opening of "Émaux et Camées" features a preface where the author expresses his intent to create art reminiscentof the classics while immersing himself in the beauty and isolation of creativity. Gautier draws parallels between his creative process and the works of great poets like Goethe, suggesting that art can flourish even amidst turmoil.
