EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a young genius, Arthur Rimbaud, at the tender age of 17 in 1871. The image, taken by renowned photographer Etienne Carjat, showcases the raw talent and potential that would later revolutionize literature and arts. Arthur Rimbaud was a French poet who left an indelible mark on modern literature. Born in Charleville, Ardennes, he began writing poems at an incredibly young age while still attending primary school. However, his poetic journey came to an abrupt halt before he reached 21 years old. In this portrait, we see a glimpse into the enigmatic world of Rimbaud's youth. His piercing gaze holds secrets untold as his youthful features are juxtaposed with a maturity beyond his years. This photograph is not just a snapshot; it is a testament to the brilliance that lay within him. Rimbaud's influence extended far beyond poetry; he inspired countless musicians and prefigured surrealism with his unconventional style. As we observe this vintage picture from the 19th century, we can't help but feel captivated by its timeless beauty. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their prismatic pictures collection. It serves as a reminder of Rimbaud's extraordinary talent and leaves us wondering what more could have been achieved had he continued down this path for longer than his fleeting youth allowed.
