Arthur Rimbaud, the Enigmatic French Poet and Adventurer, 1870
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Arthur Rimbaud, a legendary figure in French literature and exploration. In this head and shoulders portrait, taken in 1870 when he was just sixteen years old, Rimbaud's piercing gaze reveals both his youthful innocence and an underlying sense of mystery. Rimbaud's meteoric rise as a poet remains unparalleled. Despite his brief career that ended at the tender age of nineteen, he left an indelible mark on the literary world with his revolutionary works. His poetry challenged traditional norms and explored themes of love, spirituality, and rebellion. After bidding farewell to poetry at such a young age, Rimbaud embarked on a remarkable journey as a travelling merchant and trader throughout Ethiopia. This unexpected shift in occupation only adds to the enigma surrounding him. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder that there is more to this man than meets the eye – behind those intense eyes lies an adventurous spirit yearning for new experiences. Preserved within Album de Photographies: Dans L'Intimité de Personnages Illustres (1850-1950), this rare image offers us a glimpse into the life of one of France's most celebrated literary figures. It reminds us that artistry can manifest itself not only through words but also through daring explorations beyond societal boundaries. As we admire this print today, let us be inspired by Arthur Rimbaud
