Long-Lost Picture of French Poet Arthur Rimbaud {Masculine Beauty Icon}
This is a famous picture of French poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) by Carjat. The poet was interpreted by Leonardo di Caprio in the movie Total Eclipse. After Rimbaud decided to stop writing poetry at age 20, he ended up in Africa in 1880. A later picture of him was found recently which shows a different man. Rimbaud's face is so iconic - it's even found on plates and chairs in France - that it's interesting to see his older face. It's like hearing that James Dean didn't die but was later found in a desert island... and photographed...
