Felix Auguste Duvert (1795-1876) was a French playwright, vaudevillist, and actor known for his contributions to the Parisian theatrical scene in the 19th century. He collaborated with various other playwrights of his time, such as Augustin-Théodore de Lauzanne and Charles Varner, to produce a number of successful vaudevilles, a genre that combined light comedy with musical interludes. Duvert's works were characterized by their wit, lively dialogue, and satirical edge, often reflecting the social mores and issues of his time.

Born on February 7, 1795, in Lyon, Duvert showed an early interest in the theater and moved to Paris to pursue his career. He quickly became a fixture in the city's vibrant theatrical world, both as a performer and a writer. Throughout his career, he penned over 200 plays, many of which were performed at prominent venues such as the Théâtre du Palais-Royal and the Théâtre des Variétés.

Duvert's legacy extends beyond his written works; he is also remembered for his influence on the development of French theater, particularly in the realm of vaudeville. His ability to blend humor with musical elements helped to popularize the form and set the stage for future developments in musical theater.

The portrait of Felix Auguste Duvert by Nadar, a pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820-1910), is a testament to Duvert's prominence in the cultural life of Paris. Nadar was a renowned photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist, and balloonist, famous for his portraits of Parisian celebrities of the time. The photograph of Duvert by Nadar not only captures the likeness of the playwright but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the intersection of art and society in 19th-century France.

Duvert's contributions to French theater were widely recognized during his lifetime, and his works continued to be performed after his death on September 6, 1876. Today, he is remembered as a key figure in the history of French vaudeville, and his plays remain a subject of study for those interested in the evolution of theatrical forms and the cultural history of France.
