Dictionary of Artists

 

To meet the requirement of scholars, art dealers, collectors or simple amateurs of having a quick and effective tool at their disposal to satisfy the various exigencies connected with the world of art, first of all the in-depth analysis of the work of painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, etc., the "Dictionary of artists" puts itself up as an annotated list of names, sometimes accompanied, if marked by an asterisk, by a biography and by some signature examples.

Each artist is matched with a series of index cards regarding the works registered in the Data Bank of the Matteucci Institute, which can be issued on request.

The biographies are taken from the Dizionario degli artisti edited by Cristina Bonagura, integral part of the work Pittori & pittura dell'Ottocento italiano (1996-1997), coordinated by Giuliano Matteucci with the cooperation of Paul Nicholls and realized by the Redazioni Grandi Opere of the "Istituto Geografico De Agostini", to whom the Matteucci Institute expresses its sincere thanks for authorizing the circulation of the texts on line.

 

Boatti Faustino*

BOATTI FAUSTINO
Bergamo 1797 - 1857
Seguì i corsi di C. Diotti all'Accademia Carrara, ottenendo riconoscimenti, fra cui il primo premio nel 1818 per l’Accademia del Nudo. Frequentatore del salotto del conte A. Vertova, punto di ritrovo, all’inizio del- l'Ottocento, degli intellettuali bergamaschi, trasse da quell'ambiente temi e committenze. Nelle poche opere note mostrò di sapersi liberare delle convenzioni accademiche del tempo (Conversazione in casa del Conte Andrea Vertova, 1826; Ottavio Tasca e la sua famiglia, 1827; Pietro Ruggeri da Stabello, Bergamo, Biblioteca Civica Angelo Mai).
