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.

 

Bruni Fedor Antonovic*

BRUNI FEDOR ANTONOVIC
Milano 1802 - Pietroburgo (Russia) 1875
Figlio d’arte, Bruni si formò all'Accademia di Pietroburgo fra il 1809 e il 1818 compiendo poi lunghi soggiorni in Italia (1819-1836, 1839-1841, 1843-1845), fermandosi soprattutto a Roma. L'influenza del composto neo-classicismo di V. Camuccini è riconoscibile nella rigorosa costruzione della Morte di Camilla (1824, San Pietroburgo, Museo Russo); gli stessi elementi, rielaborati e personalizzati, appaiono nel Serpente di bronzo (1828-1841,San Pietroburgo, Museo Russo), la sua opera più nota, in cui, pur nell’adozione dello schema piramidale, il modello raffaellesco e accademico si arricchisce di variati apporti della cultura figurativa italiana rinascimentale e barocca.
