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 "Costume di Lecce" con didascalia autografa inchiostro nero "Provincia dell'Aquila". Rappresenta una donna in costumi tradizionali di Lecce. Ottime condizioni eccetto leggera abrasione nell'angolo superiore-sinistro. 

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".
