Footnotes

Pasquale Miglioretti exhibited at the Royal Academy in London twice. In 1865 he exhibited 'Virgo Virginum' (cat. no 920) and 'Charlotte Corday before the death of Marat' (cat no. 841). Then in 1866 he exhibited 'The First Sorrow' (cat. no. 848).

Miglioretti's status as one of the leading Italian sculptors of his generation was subsequently confirmed the following year when a version of 'Charlotte Corday before the death of Marat' was awarded a gold medal at the 1867 Universal Exhibition in Paris. Two other versions of this particular work have come onto the art market in the last two decades.
