About the exhibition

The exhibition invites you to discover the work of Ernst Theodor Amadeus

Hoffmann (1773-1822), also known as E. T. A. Hoffmann,

from a new angle. He was one of the most important writers and artists

important to German Romanticism and is considered the founder of

fantastic realism. His influence extends to all forms of art:

his stories continue to inspire writers, filmmakers and

musicians to this day.

In collaboration with Editions du Typhon, Maison Heinrich

Heine presents a selection of 18 black and white illustrations from

the artist and author Tristan Bonnemain, taken from his book “Dans la

night of E. T. A. Hoffmann.” This book contains five new translations

of nocturnal stories by the German author, as well as rich drawings

in detail which offers a contemporary look at his narrative universes.

The exhibition is supplemented by biographical panels on E. T.

A. Hoffmann. Hoffmann and his influence on art, literature and

music, as well as general information about the contributors

to the book project.

The exhibition is visible from June 15 to 29, 2026 in the entrance hall.
