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.

 

Buonpensiere Claudio Emilio*

BUONPENSIERE CLAUDIO EMILIO
Gravina (Bari) 1849 - Napoli 1927
Frequentò l’istituto di Belle Arti di Napoli tra il 1865 e il 1871, rivelando presto una predilezione per le tematiche sociali (Scugnizzo napoletano, 1869, Gravina, Fondazione Pomarici-Santomasi; Un povero mendicante, esposto alla Promotrice di Napoli del 1870). In altre opere custodite a Gravina sono avvertibili suggestioni della coeva pittura toscana. Negli anni '80 l’artista eseguì ritratti e quadri di genere che presentò alle esposizioni di Milano (1881), di Torino (1884) e di Palermo (Se sono spine!, Armonia, 1891-1892).
