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.

 

Caselli Moretti Ludovico*

CASELLI MORETTI LUDOVICO
Perugia 1858 - 1922
Al periodo di studi compiuti presso l'Accademia perugina risalgono i dipinti più significativi di questo artista: opere come II Pinturicchio (1878-1880) e Domenico Alfani (1880, Perugia, Accademia di Belle Arti) mostrano un deciso allineamento al genere celebrativo dell’arte antica, orientato verso modi puristi, che gli valse la prestigiosa commissione papale per alcuni polittici in stile (chiesa di San Costanzo, Perugia; chiesa di Carpinete). Autore anche di vedute prospettiche (Facciata della chiesa di S. Bernardino a Perugia, esposto a Roma nel 1883; Piazza di S. Francesco al Prato, esposto a Torino nel 1884), dal 1896 fu assorbito nella produzione di vetrate.
