Andr Chnier

Andr Chnier

Andr Chnier

Andr Marie Chnier (30 October 1762 - 25 July 1794) was a French poet, associated with the events of the French Revolution of which he was a victim. His sensual, emotive poetry marks him as one of the precursors of the Romantic movement. His career was brought to an abrupt end when he was guillotined for alleged "crimes against the state", just three days before the end of the Reign of Terror. Chnier's life has been the subject of Umberto Giordano's opera Andrea Chnier and other works of art.
