Which writers and artists did Franz Liszt meet in Paris after his illness?

After recovering from a severe illness in Paris in 1828—during which he was so close to death that his obituary was published—Franz Liszt spent a period reading widely to compensate for his lack of formal education. During this time, he came into contact with several leading artists of the day, including:

• Alphonse de Lamartine
• Victor Hugo
• Heinrich Heine1

Following this period, between 1830 and 1832, he also met other influential figures who significantly impacted his artistic life, such as Hector Berlioz, Niccolò Paganini, and Frédéric Chopin.1
