Alma Aline Henriette del Banco (1862-1943) was a German modernist painter of Jewish ancestry.
Her father, Eduard Moses del Banco (1810–1881), ran a business selling tobacco products, pig bristles, horse hair and bed feathers.
At the beginning of World War I, she moved to Paris, where she studied with André Lhote and Fernand Léger.
[2] During the 1920s, she made numerous painting trips to Italy and the Balkans, accompanied by her fellow artist, Gretchen Wohlwill [de].
In 1937, thirteen of her paintings were confiscated from the Hamburger Kunsthalle as part of the government's "Degenerate Art" campaign.
She was able to share an apartment with her brother-in-law, Hans Lübbert [de], a civil servant who had been forced to resign from his positions in the local fishing industry.
