Charles Baudelaire, French Poet

Charles Pierre Baudelaire (April 9, 1821 - August 31, 1867) was a French poet who also produced notable work as an essayist, art critic, and pioneering translator of Edgar Allan Poe. His highly original style of prose poetry influenced a whole generation of poets including Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud. Many of his philosophical proclamations were considered scandalous and intentionally provocative in his time. Aspects of his work which regularly receive much critical discussion include the role of women, his experience of drug-induced states of mind, the figure of the dandy, his criticisms of the bourgeois, and his advocacy of modern music and painting. Étienne Carjat, circa 1863 (cropped and cleaned).
