Biography

De Strobel was born in Parma. He attended the local Academy of Fine Arts and the Académie de France in Rome, where he befriended Amedeo Bocchi and Antonio Mancini. He was invited to exhibit his work at the third edition of the Venice Biennale in 1889. After 1910 his style was strongly influenced by the divisionism of Gaetano Previati and Plinio Nomellini. In 1925 he became Professor of Fine Art at the Brera Academy in Milan.[1]

De Strobel died in Camogli, Liguria, in 1942.[1]
