Félix Thyes

[1][2] Marc Bruno: portrait d'un artiste is a psychological novel associating romanticism with realism.

It is the story of an unfortunate medical student in Brussels who pays his way by painting pictures in the attic where he lives.

He finally decides to devote himself fully to medical practice and ends up in a small village where he can immerse himself in his work.

[3] The Essai sur la Poésie luxembourgeoise was published in the Brussels Revue trimestrielle in 1854.

In particular, Thyes commented positively and in some detail on Antoine Meyer's poetry as well as on the efforts of other Luxembourgers including Jacques Diedenhoven and Jean-François Gangler who wrote a number of works in Luxembourgish which were never published.
