"Charles Baudelaire, De Face" is a portrait painting by the renowned French artist Édouard Manet. Created in 1862, this work captures the likeness of Charles Baudelaire, one of the most influential poets of the 19th century, known for his seminal work "Les Fleurs du mal" (The Flowers of Evil). Baudelaire and Manet shared a close friendship and mutual admiration, both being central figures in the Parisian art and literary circles of their time. This portrait is a testament to their relationship and to the cultural milieu of 19th-century France.

Manet's portrayal of Baudelaire is notable for its directness and simplicity. The poet is depicted in a straightforward, almost confrontational pose, which is characteristic of Manet's style. The background is plain, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on Baudelaire's expressive face. Manet's use of light and shadow highlights Baudelaire's features, capturing the intensity and complexity of his character. The painting is executed with loose, confident brushstrokes, a technique that Manet often employed to convey immediacy and vitality.

This portrait is significant not only as a representation of Baudelaire but also as an example of Manet's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. It reflects the modernist tendencies that both Baudelaire and Manet championed, emphasizing realism and psychological depth over idealization. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical value.

"Charles Baudelaire, De Face" stands as a powerful intersection of literature and visual art, encapsulating the spirit of an era that was marked by profound cultural and artistic transformations. Through this portrait, Manet immortalizes Baudelaire not just as a poet, but as a symbol of modernity and the avant-garde.
