"Pascal Paoli" is an oil on canvas portrait by the American artist Henry Benbridge (1743–1812), painted circa 1769. The painting depicts Filippo Antonio Pasquale di Paoli, commonly known as Pasquale Paoli or Pascal Paoli, who was a Corsican patriot and leader, celebrated for his efforts to gain independence for Corsica from the Republic of Genoa. Paoli is often referred to as the "Father of Corsica" due to his significant role in promoting the island's national identity and autonomy.

Benbridge, a native of Philadelphia, was one of the early American painters to receive formal training abroad. He studied in Italy, where he was likely to have been in contact with Paoli during the latter's period of influence and prominence. The portrait is a testament to the international recognition of Paoli's cause and the cultural exchanges between America and Europe in the 18th century.

The artwork captures Paoli in a dignified pose, reflecting the neoclassical style that was prevalent during the period. The portrait is notable for its detailed rendering of Paoli's features, the use of light and shadow, and the subject's contemplative expression, all of which contribute to the portrayal of Paoli as a thoughtful and determined leader.

"Pascal Paoli" by Henry Benbridge is an important work in the context of American art history, as it represents the transatlantic connections of the era and the early development of American portraiture. The painting is also significant in Corsican cultural history, as it immortalizes a national hero during a pivotal moment in the island's struggle for self-determination. The portrait is held in a public or private collection, and its exact location would be specified here if known.
