Ángel María Cortellini Hernández (1819 - 1887) was a Spanish painter.
Born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Province of Cádiz in 1819, she was the daughter of an Italian from the Piedmont region who had married a woman of Cadiz. She trained in drawing at an early age before becoming a pupil of Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer. At the age of 17, she traveled to Italy, stopping in Turin, Milan, and Genoa. After two years, she returned to Seville to continue her training. Her training continued at the Seville Royal Academy of Fine Arts.[1] In 1847, she moved to Madrid, settling there permanently.
The following year, she exhibited at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and the Liceo Artístico y Literario. After receiving an appointment in 1850 as the honorary court painter, she created portraits of Queen Isabel II and her husband Francisco de Asis de Bourbon. In 1866, she received the gold medal of the National Exhibition for Retrato de señora, and a similar award in 1871 for La batalla de Wad-Ras.[2] She died in Madrid in 1887.
