彼得羅·德·安傑利斯

新古典畫家詩人

關於義大利畫家、詩人和素描家彼得羅·德·安傑利斯的生平與職業生涯，人們所知甚少。他出生於羅馬，出身似乎頗為優越，曾在羅馬的德國畫家安東·拉斐爾·門斯的工作室接受訓練。他有記錄的最早委託作品是為納沃納廣場的一家咖啡館創作的壁畫裝飾，描繪一年中各個月份的勞作場景，該作品於1784年完成，現已遺失。 In 1790 he was tasked with the painting of a ceiling fresco in the Palazzo Badoer in Venice, which remains his only painted work to have survived to this day. The artist appears to have been knighted as a cavaliere di merito sometime in the 1790s, and from then on often signed his drawings with the title of ‘Cavalier’ or ‘Eques’, usually followed by ‘Romano’ or ‘Romans’. In 1793 he is recorded - already described as a cavaliere – as a member of the Accademia degli Unanimi, a literary society in Turin, and was also a member of other learned societies, including the Accademia degli Arcadi in Rome, which was made up of writers. 世紀之交後不久，德安傑利斯似乎離開義大利，前往阿爾卑斯山以北地區生活和工作。從哥本哈根國立美術館收藏的一幅署名並標註日期的畫作來看，其上題有「De angelis fecit in San Pietrosburgo 1801」，他似乎在俄羅斯度過了一段時間；另有記錄顯示，他於1804年在立陶宛維爾紐斯大學擔任透視畫法教師。 至1810年，德安吉利斯已身在慕尼黑，在那裡生活並工作，擔任義大利語教授，至少直到1822年。德安吉利斯顯然是一位具文化修養與知識份子氣質的人物，當代資料將他描述為既是藝術家也是詩人。他的詩集於1798年在法蘭克福出版，書名為《羅馬人彼得羅·德安吉利斯的詩歌與即興創作試作》（Saggio di poesie, e improvvisi di Pietro de Angelis romano），其他文集也在隨後幾年問世；《散文與詩歌試作》（Saggio di prose e poesie）於1808年在科希策出版，兩年後，《美德揭穿誹謗》（La calunia scoperta dalla virtu）在維也納出版。
