EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a watercolor on card portrait of Pasquale Paoli, created by the talented artist William Grimaldi in 1800. The artwork, measuring 8.5x7.1 cm, is currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. Pasquale Paoli (1725-1807) was a renowned Corsican patriot who sought refuge in England during two periods: from 1769 to 1790 and again from 1796 until his death in London in 1807. His final resting place was St. Pancras Church; however, his remains were exhumed and reinterred in Corsica's Morosaglia village where he was born. Paoli's legacy as a patriotic figure resonated far beyond his homeland and even inspired Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Notably, he enjoyed a close friendship with James Boswell, the famous biographer. Grimaldi's miniature painting beautifully captures Paoli's dignified presence and unwavering determination as he gazes into the distance. This intimate portrayal allows viewers to appreciate both the physical likeness of this remarkable man and his significant contributions to history. The inclusion of this print within the Ashmolean Museum's collection serves as a testament to its artistic merit and historical significance. It offers an opportunity for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike to delve into the life of one of Italy's most revered patriots – Pasquale Paoli.
