An interpretation of the Shield of Achilles design described in the Iliad, by Angelo Monticelli

Angelo Monticelli (1778 – 1837) was an Italian neoclassical painter.

He was a pupil of Andrea Appiani. He painted the second sipario or curtain for La Scala Theater in Milan (1821), as well as for the theater in Pesaro.[1]

A painter Angiolo Monticelli (1678-1749) is stated as a Bolognese landscape painter, who studied under Marcantonio Franceschini.[2] It is unclear if he is related to either this Angelo, or to Andrea Monticelli.
