Pictures of Love

After Théophile Gautier. Performed by the Exchange Theatre.

Pictures of Love is a lovely story, where the writer Théophile Gautier sees a painting coming alive and falls in love. Alongside Victor Hugo, Alfred de Musset and Chateaubriand, Gautier is one of the most important French Romantic writers of the 19th century. His most famous novels are Le Capitaine Fracasse and The Romance of the Mummy, which inspired many modern movies.
