Deiva De Angelis

Painter (Gubbio 1885-Rome 1925)

In the early 1900s, De Angelis moved from Gubbio to Rome where she sold flowers on the Spanish Steps and posed as a model in the painters’ studios on Via Margutta.

Despite the extensive research done on her biography, there are still many gaps in her story. It is said that English painter William Walcot brought her to Paris and London to show her the latest European art trends.

She later married Apulia-born lawyer De Angelis, from whom she soon separated but kept his last name with which she signed her works.

She was romantically linked to Cipriano Efisio Oppo, with whom she shared a studio in Villa Strohl Fern from 1914 to 1918.

She started painting and showed at the First International Secession exhibition in Rome (1913).

The 1918 group show at the Casina del Pincio including Oppo, Spadini, Ferrazzi, and Pasquarosa proved her strength as a painter to the Roman art world.

That year she also exhibited at the Circolo Artistico in Rome with Pasquarosa.

In the 1920s she got involved with the Casa d’Arte Bragaglia and was closely tied to Anton Giulio Bragaglia. Her solo show at the Casa d’Arte Bragaglia with 40 works (portraits, landscapes, nudes, and still lifes, some sanguine) was well received by critics.

The magazine Cronache di Attualità published her drawings.
