Dellville, Pennsylvania
Dellville is a village in Wheatfield Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania, Wheatfield Township, United States. The settlement is located within the Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan statistical area. Population Determining the ethnic population of Dellville is a challenge, as the area is not a census designated place. Additionally, there is widespread inaccuracy among the locals as to what specific ethnicity falling in the general class of caucasian they are.

Perry County as a whole self-identifies as 45.2% German (43.3% "German" and 1.9% "Pennsylvania German", with the latter being Anabaptism, Anabaptist ...

Jean Delville
Jean Delville (19 January 1867 – 19 January 1953) was a Belgian symbolist painter, author, poet, polemicist, teacher, and Theosophist. Delville was the leading exponent of the Belgian Idealist movement in art during the 1890s. He held, throughout his life, the belief that art should be the expression of a higher spiritual truth and that it should be based on the principle of Ideal, or spiritual Beauty. He executed a great number of paintings during his active career from 1887 to the end of the second World War (many now lost or destroyed) expressing his Idealist aesthetic. Delville was trained at the ''Académie des Beaux-arts'' in Brussels and proved to be a highly precocious student, winning most of the prestigious competition prizes at the Academy while still a young student. He later won the Belgian Prix de Rome which allowed him to travel to Rome and Florence and study at first hand the works of the artists of the Renaissance.
