Abstract:
Joseph-Pierre Picot de Limoëlan de Clorivière was a miniature portrait artist who fled to Georgia from France after conspiring to assassinate Napleon Bonaparte in 1800. Joseph-Pierre became a pastor and had a pivotal influence on the spirituality, curriculum and architecture of the Visitation Monastery in Georgetown, D.C. New accounts of his work are stored at the monastery and at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
