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.

CANDIDO SALVATORE
Attivo a Napoli fra il 1814 e il 1869
L’individuazione di alcuni paesaggi in collezioni private ha recentemente consentito la ricostruzione di questa figura di paesaggista, fino ad allora celato fra la produzione attribuita a G. Gigante. Autore di un dipinto di carattere cronachistico, il Ritorno del Re (acquistato dal re Francesco I alla Mostra Borbonica del 1826, Caserta, Reggia) entrò in seguito a contatto con la Scuola di Posillipo, assumendo modi vicini a quelli di Gigante (Veduta di Napoli da Santa Lucia, 1849, coll. privata; Villa Comunale,1869, coll. privata).
