Antonio DeVity was an Italian painter born in Naples. He studied at the Liceo d'Arte in Naples and spent a few years in Paris, in a small attic room near Place Saint-Michel. In those years, he had the opportunity to attend the École des Beaux-Arts and to appreciate those places that were often represented in his paintings, including Notre Dame, the Café de la Paix and the Moulin Rouge. DeVity spent his educational years in Paris and returned to Italy his birthplace to open a famous art school where he resided most of his adult life. (1901-1993)

Devity also lived and worked in Paris, where he studied with Antoine Blanchard (born Marcel Masson), who was famous for his atmospheric paintings of Paris street scenes. Devity later settled in Naples, where he opened a studio. His works have won international awards and his paintings of Parisian streets and the waterways of Venice are widely collected.
