Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas père in order to distinguish between him and his son, was a French writer, close to the Romantic Movement. The son of a general of African-Caribbean origins, he worked from an early age, before starting to write. He was quickly met with acclaim with his vaudevilles and his historical plays. He wrote an impressive amount of works, among which were Henry III and His Courts (1829) and Kean (1836). However, he owes his lasting fame to his series of historical frescoes, namely with the trilogy of The Three Musketeers in 1844 and with The Count of Monte Cristo in the same year.
