Arcangiolo Birelli

Arcangiolo Birelli (1859–1928) was an Italian painter.

Biography Birelli was born in Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina in 1859. Educated in Tuscany, he was active in Florence during the 1880s and 1890s. In this period he painted his best‑known work La conversione dell'innominato (, Lecco, Villa Manzoni) and A captive audience ( circa, private collection).

Between 1891 and 1894 he exhibited at the Münchener Jahresausstellung and also in San Francisco, California.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a long illness slowed and eventually ended his artistic career. He died in Terni in 1928.
