Camille Raspail's 1878 portrait of Francois-Vincent Raspail (1794-1878) captures the multifaceted legacy of this French trailblazer. A renowned chemist and naturalist, Raspail is best known for his contributions to the cell theory in biology and the use of microscopes. Yet, his impact extended beyond the lab, as an early advocate for sanitation and diet reform. His political activism, however, led to two imprisonments, as depicted in 'The Irreconcileables' engraving. Today, Raspail's legacy endures, with his former residence now the Hotel Lutetia in Paris, and his name remembered by scholars and historians. Intriguingly, his grandson Benjamin Raspail, in collaboration with Gill, penned a biography of this remarkable man.
