Michela De Vito

In the XIX century, Michela De Vito native of Abruzzi,  worked in Naples and became a famous artist. She was maybe the daughter or sister of Camillo de Vito, a reknown painter of guaches above all of views and scenes of everyday life. Sometimes she is mistaken with Michele de Vito. “A refined painter, very skilled when it came to drawings, she had the characteristic to make her subject more gentle, compared to her male collegues"; this is how De Rosa and Trastulli describe her.

 

Italian Version:

Acquerello su carta color avorio ,  1820 c.a.

Acquerello, di grande bellezza e pregio sia per il disegno che per la finezza dei colori, che r appresenta una figura femminile in costumi tradizionali italiani dell'Ottocento. Ottime condizioni ad eccezione di un piccolo strappo sul bordo inferiore.

Michela De Vito

Artista abruzzese attiva a Napoli nei primi decenni del XIX secolo, imparentata (non si sa se figlia o sorella) con Camillo De Vito, prolifico pittore di gouache soprattutto di vedute e scene di costume di Napoli. Spesso confusa con Michele de Vito. “ Pittrice raffinata, di grossa abilità disegnata, aveva la caratteristica d'ingentilire la fisionomia contrariamente a quanto solevano fare alcuni suoi colleghi, pur onorati da commesse Reali ", così la definiscono De Rosa e Trastulli.
