 Pope Paul III
Paul III, given name Alessandro Farnese, Roman Catholic Pope from 1534 to 1549, Was born on the 28th of February 1468, of an old and distinguished family.
The situation at his accession was grave and complex: the steady growth of Protestantism, the preponderant power of the emperor and his prolonged wars with France, the advances of the Turks, the uncertain mind of the Church itself -- all conspired to produce a problem involved and delicate.
Paul was shrewd, calculating, tenacious; but on the other hand over-cautious, and inclined rather to temporize than to strike at the critical moment.

 New York State Writers Institute - Emperor Jones Film Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Paul Robeson had the very highest standards for the representation of race on screen, and he never made a film he was completely pleased with.
He was right to question the film's final commitment to Black dignity, but The Emperor Jones remains a remarkable refraction of the many lives the race led in the years of the Great Migration northward, and the terrible forced exile of African Americans from the soul of America.
Paul Robeson's performance as Brutus Jones, larger then life, boastful, passionate, wily, and madly impetuous, still shines from the screen.

Of all Paul Robeson's eleven starring film performances, by far his most iconic was his breakthrough in the big-screen adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones.
He was already a legend for his stage incarnation of Brutus Jones, a Pullman porter who powers his way to rule of a Caribbean island, but with this, his first sound-era film role, his regal image was married to his booming voice for eternity.
The Emperor Jones is a standard-definition digital transfer mastered from the 2001 restoration print created by the Library of Congress, the most complete version of the film available.

After dealing for a long time with Paul, it was indeed natural that Frogères should dread the resentment of a sovereign, for Paul was so vindictive that the greatest share of his wrongdoings was attributable to his hatred for the Russian nobility, against whom he had had a grievance during Catherine's lifetime.

 The State Hermitage Museum: Collection Highlights
During Paul's reign, Russian portraiture took great strides: this was the highpoint of Vasily Borovikovsky's career; Dmitry Levitsky was still hard at work; Stepan Shchukin, the head of the portraiture class at the Academy and teacher of a number of notable early 19th-century artists, was just starting out.
Shchukin's portrait of Paul I is one of the most interesting formal Russian portraits, from both a psychological and the artistic point of view.
Named in honour of Paul, Pavlovsk was fitted out with many newly created works of art, much of it purchased or commissioned by Paul and his wife, Maria Fyodorovna.
