Geschiedenis
Alphonse-Marie-Louis de Prat de Lamartine was born in Mâcon, France in 1790. He worked for the French embassy in Italy (1825-1828) before being elected a député (MP) in 1833. As a politician during the Second Republic, Lamartine was instrumental in achieving the abolition of slavery and the death penalty in France. He served briefly as Foreign Minister in 1848, but retired from public life the same year after an unsuccessful campaign for the presidency. Lamartine is also renowned as one of the earliest romantic poets writing in French. He was a member of the Académie française for 40 years, from 1829 until his death in 1869.
