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.

 

Bonomelli Romeo *

BONOMELLI ROMEO
Bergamo 1871 - 1943
Fu uno dei migliori allievi di C. Tallone, da cui apprese la lezione del vero, l’attenzione ai valori della luce e il robusto impianto del disegno. Le sue prime opere (Ombrellino rosso, Bergamo, Accademia Carrara) comparvero dal 1894 alle mostre braidensi (Ritratto, 1894; In giardino, In piazza della verdura, Dopo la passeggiata, 1896). L’amicizia con G. Pellizza da Volpedo, con cui intrattenne un lungo epistolario, fu determinante per un brevissimo accostamento alla pittura divisionista, iniziato con I falciatori (esposto all’Accademia Carrara di Bergamo nel 1900) e conclusosi con Notturno in via S. Tommaso (1902).
