Michela De Vito born in Abruzzi. She worked in Naples and became a famous artist during the XIX century. She was maybe the daughter or sister of Camillo de Vito, a famous painter of guaches above all of views and scenes of everyday life. Sometimes she was mistaken for Michele de Vito. This is how De Rosa and Trastulli describe her: “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".
Italian Version:
Acquerello su carta color avorio, 1820 c.a. Titolato e firmato a mano inchiostro nero inferiore. Rappresenta un brigante. Ottime condizioni.
Acquerello di grande bellezza e pregio sia per il disegno che per la finezza dei colori.
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. Definita da De Rosa e Trastulli “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".
