| Italian born, Albert Operti established himself as an historical painter and is most associated with his Arctic scenes and backdrop paintings for operatic performances. Alberti moved to England with his family as an infant and studied at the Glasgow Institute of Fine Art in Scotland. In 1875, he arrived in the United States and took classes at the Art Students League in New York City. He did newspaper cartoons, and by the 1880s was employed by the Metropolitan Opera, where he earned a distinguis (showing 500 of 1850 characters). |
