    Clément-François Castelli (born January 14, 1870 in Premia in the Piedmont region of Italy and died in Paris on December 12, 1959) is a painter and member of the Society of Mountain Painters.
    He came to live in Paris in 1880 where he attended school.
    He then shared his life between France (Paris and the Alps) and Italy.
    He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1913 and at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1921.
    The city of Paris awarded him a silver medal at the Salon Violet exhibition in 1938.
    In 1925 he was co-organizer of the Italo-Swiss exhibition which was held in Domodossola where he exhibited.
    He received a silver-gilt medal from the hands of King Victor-Emmanuel III of Italy and the town of Domodossola bought two paintings from him for its museum.
    He joined the Society of Mountain Painters in 1927 and became actively involved in it: he joined its steering committee in 1929, and became its exhibition curator in 1934, a task he assumed until his death in 1959. .
    In 1933, he was an Academy officer then a Public Education officer in 1948 when one of his paintings was admitted to the Louvre Museum. The Louvre Museum also has another of his landscapes.
    He died on December 12, 1959, aged 89, in his artist's studio in the Montparnasse district, after being hit by a car at Place de la République in Paris.
    Clément Castelli is above all a mountain painter. He mainly painted the Alps: large massifs of the French Alps (Chamonix Valley, La Meije and Oisans, etc.) but also the Swiss Alps (numerous paintings representing the Matterhorn in particular) and Italian. He represents mountain landscapes as well as valley bottoms or views of the high mountains that his mountaineering qualities allow him to frequent.
    He also painted some paintings on the Pyrenees sites, the Cirque de Gavarnie, the Gaube lake or the Ossau valley which he exhibited in Tarbes. He is a prolific artist who painted many paintings. He often paints on small panels, easier to take to the high mountains, but also on canvas. He paints with a brush, in a fairly classic way; its palette, made of fairly “cold” colors, is characteristic. A stamp, affixed to the back of his paintings, indicates that at least for a time, his workshop was located in Paris, rue du Faubourg-du-Temple.
