Artists took significant interest in Poe’s literary oeuvre only after the writer’s untimely death. This was mainly thanks to the poet Charles Baudelaire who translated Poe’s works to French. As early as in the second half of the 19th century, prominent artists such as Edouard Manet, Odilon Redon, James Ensor and Gustave Doré created remarkable artworks inspired by Poe. Although the first Czech translations of Poe’s woks date to the 1850s, artworks inspired by them only appeared several decades later, at the turn on the 20th century. Poe’s poems and short stories inspired FrantiÅ¡ek Kupka and soon after him, Josef Váchal, Jan Konůpek and FrantiÅ¡ek Kobliha. Alfred Kubin, a German artist born in Bohemia, made illustrations for the German translation of Poe’s collected stories. Later on, Alén DiviÅ¡ and FrantiÅ¡ek Tichý created further Poe-inspired artworks. Poe was a source of inspiration for Jan Å vankmajer and more recently, FrantiÅ¡ek Å torm and Jaroslav Róna.
