Emaux et Camées was published when Gautier was touring the middle east and is considered to be his supreme poetic achievement. The title reflects Gautier’s abandonment of the romantic ambition to create a kind of ‘total’ art, one that involves the emotional participation of the reader, in favour of a more modern approach which focuses more on the form instead of content of the poetic composition. This started off as a collection of 18 poems in 1852 but further editions contained up to 37 poems.
