Jules Auguste Armand Marie, Prince of Polignac, was a prominent French politician who lived from 1780 to 1847. Known for his aristocratic background and influential connections, Polignac played a significant role in the political landscape of his time. In this captivating lithograph from 1830, we catch a glimpse of Polignac's distinguished presence. The image showcases him surrounded by society on the beach at Biarritz, accompanied by none other than the renowned cartoonist Sem. This snapshot captures both the elegance and camaraderie that characterized Polignac's social circles. Delving further into history, we encounter another fascinating portrayal of society life during the late 18th century. Painted by Louis Carmontelle around 1775, it depicts society members gathering in the Palais Royal. This scene offers us a window into the opulent world that Polignac inhabited and gives us an insight into his refined tastes. The influence of the Polignac family extended beyond politics; they were also known for their striking appearances. Two portraits stand out among them: Aglae de Gramont (nee de Polignac) painted by Marie Louise Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun in 1794 and Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, Duchess also captured by Vigee-Lebrun. These artworks showcase not only their beauty but also hint at their significance within high society. However, Jules Auguste Armand Marie himself was not just confined to societal gatherings or artistic depictions; he had an active role in historical events as well. A painting titled "Landing of Conspirators in Cadoudal Affair at Cliff Biville" portrays one such event involving him between 1771-1847 when he landed with conspirators amidst dramatic cliffs—a testament to his involvement in clandestine affairs.
