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.

CALZI ACHILLE
Faenza (Ravenna) 1844 - 1850
Formatosi presso la scuola d’arte della sua città, nel 1830 compì un soggiorno di studio a Roma sotto la guida e la protezione di T. Minardi. Premiato all’Accademia di San Luca e ottenute diverse commissioni, l’artista eseguì numerosi ritratti che attestano il suo interesse per l’opera di J. A. D. Ingres (Ritratto di Giuseppe Zamboni e Ritratto di Ignazio Bosi, Faenza, Pinacoteca Comunale). La successiva adesione al Romanticismo storico è documentata dalle incisioni e da dipinti vicini ai modi di F. Hayez (Abelardo ed Eloisa, Faenza, Pinacoteca Comunale).
