Michela De Vito has been an artist of great importance during the 19th century. He was daughter or sister, we don’t know, of Camillo De Vito, a very fertile gouache painter, mainly representing views and costume scenes from Naples. She was active in Naples in the early decades of the nineteenth century and she was sometimes confused with Michele de Vito. ”Refined painter, of great drawn ability, she had the characteristic of refining her physiognomy contrary to what some of her colleagues used to do of her, even though they were honored by royal orders”.
