Rimbaud was a round-faced pudgy boy and everyone only looks at one highly flattering photo of him (the OP photo) because they have gay crushes on him.

I truly believe Rimbaud's renunciation of writing is his real masterpiece.

Think about it, a child prodigy who was a master of the language and of verse, creates poems and prose that forever changed the entire literary world, by 21. He had a whole life to create further brilliant works, but stopped, suddenly - not even completing his final prose work

The silence is the true work of art.
