Pierre de Ronsard

1524-09-11 — 1585-12-27 · La Possonnière Castle

Pierre de Ronsard was a French Renaissance poet, considered one of the greatest lyricists in the French language. His work is marked by profound classical erudition, the exploration of themes such as love, the passage of time, and ephemeral beauty, and a formal rigor that established him as a master of poetry. He is a central figure of the Pléiade, a group of poets who sought to elevate the French language to a literary level comparable to Latin and Greek, through the imitation and adaptation of classical and Italian models.
