Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a prominent French playwright and revolutionary (1732-1799), is depicted in various scenes throughout history. In one plate from Montereau in 1825, created by Creil Pottery, his image is immortalized. Another chromolitho showcases him at the city of Saint-Denis, where he stands with arms raised high amidst a garden illuminated by a young boy holding a torch under trees. A man seated on a platform holds an audience captive while two men point towards something significant. In another depiction, Beaumarchais leans towards a woman standing in a doorway as another woman raises herself from her seat nearby. The complexity of human relationships seems to be captured within this scene. Additionally, we see him curled up in a chair looking intently at another man approaching him from the left; their interaction remains mysterious. Two portraits painted by Augustin de Saint-Aubin showcase Beaumarchais' countenance during different periods of his life - one dating back to 1773 and the other to 1778. These paintings offer glimpses into the face behind his influential works. Lastly, an intriguing piece titled "Beau Marchais" portrays him around 1830 but leaves its creator unknown. Furthermore, Louise Contat and Joseph Dazincourt are featured together in an image from 1784 (1912), highlighting their connection with Beaumarchais as fellow actors. Throughout these depictions and artworks spanning decades after his passing, Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais continues to captivate our imagination as both an artist and revolutionary figure who left an indelible mark on French history.
