Aurélia de Sousa
(1866–1922)
 
Maria Aurélia Martins de Souza, known as Aurélia de Sousa, was a Portuguese-Chilean painter. She was the sister of the painter Sofia Martins de Souza and aunt of the painter and art collector Marta Ortigão Sampaio, original owner of the collection exhibited at the Casa-Museu Marta Ortigão Sampaio in Porto.
 
She was born in Valparaíso, Chile, the fourth of seven children to Portuguese emigrants António Martins de Sousa and Olinda Peres. The family lived in Brazil and Chile before moving back to Porto, Portugal in 1869, when she was three years old. They lived in the Quinta de China near the Douro River in a home bought by her father before he died in 1874, when she was eight years old.
