"Caricature of Charles Baudelaire 1821-67" is a notable work by Gaspard Félix Tournachon, better known as Nadar, a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist, and balloonist. Nadar was a prominent figure in 19th-century Parisian society, known for his pioneering efforts in photography and his close relationships with many of the era's leading intellectuals, artists, and writers. Among these was the poet Charles Baudelaire, a defining figure of French literature and a frequent subject of Nadar's artistic endeavors.

The caricature in question captures the essence of Baudelaire's complex personality and his position as a leading figure in the literary world. Baudelaire is perhaps best known for his collection of poems "Les Fleurs du mal" (The Flowers of Evil), which pushed the boundaries of poetic expression and was considered scandalous at the time for its themes of decadence and eroticism. Nadar's caricature reflects the poet's controversial reputation, his intense gaze, and the brooding nature that is often associated with his work.

Nadar's approach to caricature was distinctive and innovative. He sought to encapsulate the spirit and character of his subjects through exaggerated features and expressive lines, while still maintaining a recognizable likeness. This caricature of Baudelaire is no exception; it is a testament to Nadar's skill in balancing satire with portraiture, and it offers insight into the relationship between the artist and the poet.

The artwork serves not only as a piece of visual satire but also as a historical document, providing a glimpse into the cultural milieu of 19th-century France and the interactions among its intellectual elite. The caricature remains an important artifact for scholars studying the period, the life and work of Charles Baudelaire, and the art of caricature as practiced by one of its most acclaimed exponents, Nadar.
