Ángel Della Valle

Ángel Della Valle (b. 1855, Buenos Aires - d. 1903, Buenos Aires) was an Argentine artist principally known for his paintings that depicted the Argentine countryside and their peoples.

Ángel Della Valle was born to Italian immigrants in Buenos Aires, José Della Valle who worked as a builder and Concepción Gallino. He studied in the Colegio de San José, where he met Pedro Lagleyze (1855-1916). It is unclear what academic training Della Valle had before leaving to study in Florence, Italy in 1875.[1] He studied with the artist Antonio Ciseri, like other artists from the River Plate. Della Valle's family tradition suggests that during his time in Italy he formed a friendship with the Italian painter Giovanni Fattori who's macchiaioli style would be prominent in works from early in his career[2].

Della Valle returned to Buenos Aires in 1883.
