EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing "Portrait of Jeanne Duval with notes" by Auguste Poulet-Malassis, created between 1858-60. The artwork, a pen and ink drawing on paper, was crafted by renowned poet Charles Pierre Baudelaire. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this piece offers a glimpse into the life of Jeanne Duval during her illness. Jeanne Duval, an actress and mulatto woman, served as Baudelaire's muse and mistress until 1862. This sketch was drawn from memory by Baudelaire himself and is believed to have inspired the Venus Noire section of his famous work Les Fleurs du mal. Notably, Poulet-Malassis played a significant role as the first publisher of Les Fleurs du mal in 1857. The image captures Jeanne's enigmatic beauty and allure as she gazes into the distance. Her features are delicately rendered through intricate lines and shading techniques employed by Baudelaire. This intimate portrait not only reflects their complex relationship but also highlights Baudelaire's artistic talent beyond his poetic prowess. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of the profound influence that muses can have on artists' creative endeavors. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder at Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where passion intertwined with inspiration
