Charles Baudelaire was an influential French poet, essayist, art critic, and translator. He is considered a key figure in modern poetry, known for his work "Les Fleurs du mal" (The Flowers of Evil), which explored themes of sensuality, decadence, and urban modernity. His innovative style and his often somber view of the world profoundly marked later literature.
