Baudelaire
Baudelaire knew that this brave defense of the much derided
middle class, offered without a touch of sarcasm, put him
at odds with his confreres; to them, after all,"that
inoffensive being" the bourgeois,"who would like nothing
better than to love good painting," had long been anathema.

There is a beautiful portrait of Baudeaire by Courbet, but I cannot find a digital representation of it. Can anyone find one?
