| '''Marie-Joseph Chénier''' (11 February 1764 – 10 January 1811) was a [[France|French]] poet, dramatist and politician of [[Greece|Greek]] descent, as well as the brother of fellow poet [[André Chénier]].

| | |
| In 1794, André was sentenced to death after opposing [[Jacobins|Jacobin]] leader [[Maximilien de Robespierre]] through his poems. Around June of that year, Joseph wrote a letter to Robespierre in an attempt to save his brother. In it, he wrote that André had been arrested and imprisoned without a warrant, and that his poems in the ''[[Journal de Paris]]'' came from an "intemperate poet's heart". Naming his brother the greatest poet of France, he pleaded with Robespierre to spare him.

| Despite Joseph's letter, Robespierre was unmoved. On 25 July, André was guillotined.
