Theophilus Cazenove, or Theophile Cazenove ( 13 October 1740-6 March 1811 ), was a Dutch financier and one of the agents of the Holland Land Company.

The company was founded by Theophile Mortier ( 1855 – 1944 ).

Theophile Mortier was originally the manager of a dance hall, in which there was always a Gavioli organ playing.

A selection from his second opera, The Light of the Harem ( libretto by Clifford Harrison ), was performed at the Royal Academy of Music on 7 November 1879, with such success that Carl Rosa commissioned him to write Esmeralda ( libretto by Theophile Marzials and Alberto Randegger ), dedicated to Pauline Viardot, produced at Drury Lane on 26 March 1883.

Jean Martin had a doctor friend called Marthe Gautier, who was working at the Salpêtrière Hospital, and he said to her: "' Listen, Marthe, what could I find that would provide some kind of physiological explanation for a voice like the one written in the text?

He was friends with Théophile Gautier and Pierre-Marie-Charles de Bernard du Grail de la Villette, and he knew Victor Hugo.

For Jules Janin and Théophile Gautier, Pierrot was not a fool but an avatar of the post-Revolutionary People, struggling, sometimes tragically, to secure a place in the bourgeois world.

With him the poet and journalist Théophile Gautier after Deburau's death, the role of Pierrot was widened, enlarged.

As the Gautier citations suggest, Deburau early — about 1828 — caught the attention of the Romantics, and soon he was being celebrated in the reviews of Charles Nodier ( Gautier's praise would follow ), in an article by Charles Baudelaire on " The Essence of Laughter " ( 1855 ), and in the poetry of Théodore de Banville.

A pantomime produced at the Funambules in 1828, The Gold Dream, or Harlequin and the Miser, was widely thought to be the work of Nodier, and both Gautier and Banville wrote Pierrot playlets that were eventually produced on other stages — Posthumous Pierrot ( 1847 ) and The Kiss ( 1887 ), respectively.

) Legrand often appeared in realistic costume, his chalky face his only concession to tradition, leading some advocates of pantomime, like Gautier, to lament that he was betraying the character of the type.

He was the naïve butt of practical jokes and amorous scheming ( Gautier ); the prankish but innocent waif ( Banville, Verlaine, Willette ); the narcissistic dreamer clutching at the moon, which could symbolize many things, from spiritual perfection to death ( Giraud, Laforgue, Willette, Dowson ); the frail, neurasthenic, often doom-ridden soul ( Richepin, Beardsley ); the clumsy, though ardent, lover, who wins Columbine's heart, or murders her in frustration ( Margueritte ); the cynical and misogynous dandy, sometimes dressed in black ( Huysmans / Hennique, Laforgue ); the Christ-like victim of the martyrdom that is Art ( Giraud, Willette, Ensor ); the androgynous and unholy creature of corruption ( Richepin, Wedekind ); the madcap master of chaos ( the Hanlon-Lees ); the purveyor of hearty and wholesome fun ( the English pier Pierrots )— and various combinations of these.

Berlioz was on the verge of producing his most Romantic works — as were the writers Vigny, Dumas, Gautier and several others in attendance that night.

" Benoit Gautier, an employee of Atlantic Records in France, echoed this impression, stating that " The wisest guy in Led Zeppelin was John Paul Jones.

Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier (; 30 August 1811 – 23 October 1872 ) was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, art critic and literary critic.

While Gautier was an ardent defender of Romanticism, his work is difficult to classify and remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism.

Gautier was born on 30 August 1811 in Tarbes, capital of Hautes-Pyrénées département in southwestern France.

His father, Pierre Gautier, was a fairly cultured minor government official and his mother was Antoinette-Adelaïde Concarde.

It is through Nerval that Gautier was introduced to Victor Hugo, by then already a well-known, established leading dramatist and author of Hernani.

It was at the legendary premier of Hernani that Gautier is remembered for wearing his anachronistic red doublet.

Gautier began writing poetry as early as 1826 but the majority of his life was spent as a contributor to various journals, mainly La Presse, which also gave him the opportunity for foreign travel and for meeting many influential contacts in high society and in the world of the arts.

Throughout his life, Gautier was well-traveled, taking trips to Spain, Italy, Russia, Egypt and Algeria.

Gautier was a celebrated abandonnée who yields or abandons himself to something of the Romantic Ballet, writing several scenarios, the most famous of which is Giselle, whose first interpreter, the ballerina Carlotta Grisi, was the great love of his life.

In 1865, Gautier was admitted into the prestigious salon of Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, cousin of Napoleon III and niece to Bonaparte.

A second truce had been arbitrated in April, 1298, by Jean D'Arlay, lord of Chalon-sur-Saone, the most staunch of Edward's Burgundian allies, and these last were represented in the discussions at the Curia by Gautier de Montfaucon, Othon's neighbor and a member of the Vaudois coalition.

He entitled it " Shakespeare at the Funambules ", and in it Gautier summarized and analyzed an unnamed pantomime of unusually somber events: Pierrot murders an old-clothes man for garments to court a duchess, then is skewered in turn by the sword with which he stabbed the peddler when the latter's ghost lures him into a dance at his wedding.

Absorbed by the 1848 Revolution, Gautier wrote almost one hundred articles, equivalent to four large books, within nine months in 1848.

As Gautier was influenced greatly by his friends as well, paying tribute to them in his writings.

Instead of taking on the classical criticism of art that involved knowledge of color, composition and line, Gautier was strongly influenced by Denis Diderot's idea that the critic should have the ability to describe the art so as the reader can " see " the art through his description.

Although today Gautier is less well known as an art critic than his great contemporary, Baudelaire, he was more highly regarded by the painters of his time.

Because Gautier wrote so frequently on plays, he began to consider the nature of the plays and developed the criteria by which they should be judged.

The poems are written in a wide variety of verse forms and show that Gautier attempts to imitate other, more established Romantic poets such as Sainte-Beuve, Alphonse de Lamartine, and Hugo, before Gautier eventually found his own way by becoming a critic of Romantic excesses.
