Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was a multi-talented individual in 18th-century France, known for his achievements as a watchmaker, inventor, playwright, musician, diplomat, spy, publisher, horticulturist, arms dealer, satirist, financier, and revolutionary. He rose in French society and gained favor at Louis XV’s court due to his inventions and music teaching. Beaumarchais furthered his influence as a diplomat and spy, accumulating wealth until facing legal issues. He supported American independence and later became involved in the early stages of the French Revolution. Beaumarchais is celebrated for his theatrical works, particularly the Figaro plays.
