In 1763, Fitzpatrick was in Italy with the bibliophile, Topham Beauclerk; where he bought old-master paintings and commissioned paintings from Gavin Hamilton.
As Bennet Langton records: 'His affection for Topham Beauclerk was so great, that when Beauclerk was labouring under that severe illness which at last occasioned his death, Johnson said (with a voice faultering with emotion), "Sir, I would walk to the extent of the diameter of the earth to save Beauclerk".' (Boswell 1672).
