Gaspard de la nuit: Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot by Bertrand
"Gaspard de la nuit: Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot" by Bertrand is a collection of prose poems published posthumously in 1842. This pioneering work presents sixty-six dark, atmospheric tableaux blending romantic and gothic elements with painterly technique. Drawing inspiration from Rembrandt and Callot, Bertrand conjures a fantastical medieval world populated by gnomes, sylphs, demons, and the recurring figure of Scarbo, a menacing dwarf. These strange visions influenced later
Symbolist and Surrealist poets, and inspired Maurice Ravel's celebrated piano suite. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
