Abstract
Romantic perception of Castile through account of Théophile Gautier 's travel. — Since 17th century, the representations of Spain in Europe had depended on the perception of Castile by foreign travellers. Théophile Gautier is the romantic writer who best understood this country, outside the Pyrenean mountains. He knew how to find a balance between his romantic exaltation and his intention to bear witness to the regions of Spain through which he had travelled. In his account, Voyage en Espagne (1843), the author analyses the picturesque qualities of the places seen by Théophile Gautier, and compares his descriptions of the landscapes of Castile with the reality of the terrain.
