Wikidata WikipediaCharles Pierre Baudelaire (UK: /ˈboʊdəlɛər/, US: /ˌboʊd(ə)ˈlɛər/; French: [ʃaʁl(ə) bodlɛʁ]; 9 April 1821 – 31 August 1867) was a French poet who also produced notable work as an essayist and art critic. His poems exhibit mastery in the handling of rhyme and rhythm, contain an exoticism inherited from Romantics, but are based on observations of real life. His most famous work, a book of lyric poetry titled Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), expresses the changing nature of beauty in the rapidly industrializing Paris during the mid-19th century. Baudelaire's highly original style of prose-poetry influenced a whole generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé, among many others. He is credited with coining the term modernity (modernité) to designate the fleeting, ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility of artistic expression to capture that experience. Furthermore, Marshall Berman has credited Baudelaire as being the first Modernist.

Cimetière du Montparnasse Sur des terrains appartenant à l'Hôtel-Dieu et aux religieux de l'hôpital de la Charité, s'élevait depuis le XVe siècle un moulin, transformé en guinguette après la Révolution, à l'époque où abondaient cabarets, bals et restaurants près des barrières du Montparnasse et du Maine. Lorsque la Ville de Paris décida, le 24 juillet 1824, d'ouvrir sur ces vastes terrains le nouveau cimetière du Montparnasse, ce moulin devint la maison du gardien; réduit à l'état de tour, il en reste un des principaux ornements. L'ouverture du cimetière déclencha un tollé parmi les cabaretiers qui craignaient d'y perdre leur clientèle. Son développement rapide entraîna l'établissement de marbriers, qui firent apel à des sculpteurs: Rude, Carpeaux et, plus tard, Bourdelle vinrent s'installer près des barrières du Maine et d'Enfer. Etendu sur 19 hectares, il regroupe plus de 34000 tombes, véritable campo santo des célébrités de Paris: ainsi le monument de Baudelaire représente un gisant au-dessus duquel se penche le génie du mal.

The opening of the cemetery sparked an outcry among publicans who feared losing their customers. Its rapid development led to the establishment of masons, who made appeal to sculptors: Rude, Carpeaux and later came to settle near Bourdelle barriers Maine and Hell. Spread over 19 hectares, it includes more than 34,000 graves, real campo santo celebrities Paris: Baudelaire and the monument is a lying above which looks evil genius.
