"Portrait de Jeanne Duval" is a poem by Charles Baudelaire, a 19th-century French poet known for his collection "Les Fleurs du mal" (The Flowers of Evil). The poem is part of this seminal work, which was first published in 1857 and is considered one of the most important and influential poetry collections of the 19th century. Jeanne Duval was a significant figure in Baudelaire's life; she was the poet's muse and long-time mistress, often referred to as his "Black Venus."

The poem captures Baudelaire's complex relationship with Duval, characterized by intense passion and tumultuous emotions. It reflects the themes of beauty, eroticism, and decay, which pervade much of Baudelaire's poetry. In "Portrait de Jeanne Duval," Baudelaire explores the duality of his feelings for Duval, expressing both adoration and anguish. The work is emblematic of Baudelaire's style, which often juxtaposes the sensual with the morbid, and the sacred with the profane.

As a part of "Les Fleurs du mal," "Portrait de Jeanne Duval" contributed to the scandal and controversy that surrounded the collection's publication. Baudelaire and his publisher were prosecuted for offending public morality, and several poems, including those about Duval, were condemned for their explicit content and dark themes. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, "Les Fleurs du mal" and the poems it contains, like "Portrait de Jeanne Duval," have had a lasting impact on literature and have been celebrated for their innovative use of language and exploration of the human psyche.

The poem not only offers insight into Baudelaire's personal life but also serves as a reflection of the broader societal attitudes of the time, particularly in its depiction of a complex interracial relationship. Jeanne Duval, of mixed race, is portrayed through Baudelaire's lens, which both idealizes and objectifies her, revealing the poet's struggle with his own emotions and the social norms of his era.

"Portrait de Jeanne Duval" remains a subject of academic interest and is frequently analyzed for its literary significance, its role in Baudelaire's body of work, and its contribution to the themes of love, beauty, and despair in poetry.
