Anna Tonelli, née Anna Nistri (c. 1763 – 1846)[1] was an Italian portrait painter, active in the late 18th century and early 19th century primarily in Florence and London.[2] She often worked on miniature painting, watercolors, and pastels.
Anna Nistri was born c. 1763 in Florence, Italy.[2] In 1785, she married Italian violinist and composer, it:Luigi Tonelli and together they had two children. It is thought she received training in fine art from Giuseppe Piattoli in Florence.[2]
Early in her career, she painted portraits of Henry Blundell and Edward Clive, Earl of Powis.[2] From 1794, she lived in London, where she taught the Clive's children in drawing and exhibited twice at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1794 and 1797.[2] From 1798 to 1801, she accompanied the Clive family a trip to India, where she worked primarily in watercolors.[2] After the trip to India, she returned to Italy to be with her family.[2]
