EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the 19th century as we witness a tender moment in the life of Theophile Gautier, the renowned French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and literary critic. Captured around 1857 by an unknown creator from Album de Photographies, Dans L'Intimite de Personnages Illustres in Paris, this print reveals Gautier's role not only as a literary figure but also as a devoted family man. Seated in a lush garden setting with his wife Ernestina by his side and their two daughters Estelle and Judith gathered around him attentively, Gautier is pictured engrossed in reading aloud to his loved ones. His distinguished appearance with a full beard adds to the aura of wisdom that surrounds him. As he delves into literature's depths with passion and eloquence, one can imagine how deeply he influenced fellow writers like Baudelaire. This image beautifully encapsulates the essence of fatherhood and marital bliss. It portrays Gautier not just as an intellectual powerhouse but also as a nurturing presence within his family unit. The love shared between husband and wife is palpable through their intimate connection while their daughters bask in their parents' affectionate embrace. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the profound impact that artistry can have on our personal lives. Beyond being celebrated for his contributions to French literature and criticism during his lifetime (1811-1872), Theophile Gautier leaves behind an enduring legacy both within the realms of poetry and within the walls of his own home.
