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.

 

Brioschi Paolo*

BRIOSCHI PAOLO
Milano 1800 ca. - 1868
Le poche notizie sugli inizi dell’artista lo dicono partecipe alle esposizioni milanesi dal 1827, anno nel quale esordì all’annuale mostra braidense con un soggetto sacro e un quadro storico ispirato a una novella di Boccaccio. Ancora presente al medesimo appuntamento nel 1834 e nel 1853 con opere di soggetto mitologico e letterario, l’anno seguente apparve all’Esposizione della Società Promotrice di Genova con Morte del sergente Bianchi all'assalto di Tarragona.
