Charles Baudelaire by Étienne Carjat is a notable photographic portrait of the influential French poet Charles Baudelaire, captured by the renowned photographer Étienne Carjat. This iconic image is one of the most recognized representations of Baudelaire, who is widely celebrated for his pivotal role in the symbolist and modernist movements in literature. Carjat, a distinguished photographer and caricaturist of the 19th century, was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, and his portrait of Baudelaire is no exception.

The photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, presents Baudelaire in a contemplative and somewhat melancholic pose, reflecting the poet's complex personality and the themes of his work. Baudelaire's intense gaze and the somber expression captured by Carjat convey a sense of the inner turmoil and profound introspection that characterized much of his poetry. This portrait has become emblematic of Baudelaire's enduring legacy and his contribution to French literature, particularly through his seminal work, "Les Fleurs du mal" (The Flowers of Evil).

Étienne Carjat's skillful use of lighting and composition in this photograph highlights Baudelaire's distinctive features and creates a powerful visual narrative that complements the poet's literary achievements. The portrait not only serves as a historical document but also as an artistic representation that continues to inspire and influence both literary and visual arts communities.

The collaboration between Carjat and Baudelaire is a testament to the intersection of visual and literary arts during the 19th century, capturing a moment in time that continues to resonate with audiences today. This photograph remains a significant piece in the study of Baudelaire's life and work, as well as in the broader context of 19th-century French art and culture.
