With Baudelaire’s critical intelligence as his inspiration, the author ranges through his life and work, focusing on two painters – Ingres and Delacroix – about whom Baudelaire wrote acutely, and then turns to Degas and Manet, who followed in the tracks Baudelaire laid down in his great essay The Painter of Modern Life.
