EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Landing of Paoli on Corsican Soil in the late 18th century. Filippo Antonio Pasquale di Paoli, a revered Corsican patriot and leader, is depicted here after being exiled from his homeland twice. The engraving, based on a drawing by Eric Pape in 1894, shows Paoli emotionally kissing the ground upon his return to Corsica. Paoli's arrival symbolizes not only his personal triumph but also represents the resilience and determination of the Corsican people during this time of revolution and nationalism. This image is taken from "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Volume I" by William Milligan Sloane, published by The Century Co. , New York in 1896. The monochrome composition adds depth to this powerful scene as it highlights Paoli's relief at finally setting foot on familiar soil once again. His strong presence evokes admiration for his leadership qualities and unwavering commitment to his country. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to an era marked by rebellion and upheaval. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and exile, individuals like Paoli can inspire hope through their unwavering dedication to their homeland.
