About Pasqual Calbó i Caldés
- Pasqual Calbó Caldés (Mahón, 24 October 1752 - id., 12 April 1817) was an 18th-century enlightened painter who found in Menorca the ideal place to foster his intelligence, sensitivity and creativity, since the island had a great cultural richness open to European influences after the British invasion.
- Calbó wrote fluently in several languages such as Catalan, Italian and French, and got by in German, English and Spanish.
- Moreover, he quickly learnt to sail, what allowed him to work in Vienna, study in Rome and travel to exotic places such as the Caribbean.
- After travelling around the world, he came back to Menorca, where he settled down, when he was 28 years old. His love for Menorca made him renounce his economic ambitions.
- His life circumstances obliged him to change his career as a painter and start working as a teacher of geometry, architecture and physics.
