Biography
Delasalle first visited the "Institution des Dames Augustines anglaises de Neuilly." From 1880 to 1890 she studied at the private art school Académie Julian and was a student of artist Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant, Jean-Paul Laurens and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. In 1888 she made her artistic debut with a portrait of a lady in the salon of the Société des Artistes Français.[1] In the 1890s she began to occupy herself with figurative representations, in particular with female nudes. In 1899 she received a state scholarship to travel to Italy. In addition to scenes from the world of work and portraits by painters such as Pierre Prins (1907), she made landscapes such as the views from Greenwich Park or pictures of animals. She started making etchings around 1904. Her works have been shown in exhibitions in Paris, Liège and Munich. She lived at 3 rue Jean Baptiste Dumas in Paris.[2]
Delasalle was a member of the “Societé Internationale de Peinture et Sculpture” and a founding member of the Société du Salon d'Automne. She received several medals at exhibitions, including 1897 for Return from the Hunt (Salon des Artistes Français) and for a prehistoric painting and a silver medal at the Paris Exposition, the 1900 worlds fair. The travel grant was awarded to her by the “Conseil Supérieur des Beaux-Arts."
