Es un Duarte revivido, es el Duarte de alma y abnegado corazón, pletórico de ilusiones y fortalezas espirituales, el heroico, el que lleva en su interior labrado el abecedario de la nobleza, la entrega y el desprendimiento en el servicio a la Patria, El que nos enseñaba a tener a todos sentimientos puros, a dar ejemplo de grandeza, de nobleza, de virtud. - Ylonka Nacidit-Perdomo, 2015 Juan Pablo Duarte , obra de Luis Desangles C. 1913, Oleo sobre tela, 60 x 40 pulg.
