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.

 

Cavadini Eugenio*

CAVADINI EUGENIO
Verona 1846 - Padova 1869
Fu avviato alla pittura a Padova da V. Gazzotto iscrivendosi poi all’Accademia di Venezia, ma dovette presto abbandonare gli studi per una lunga malattia che gli tolse l’uso del braccio destro e che lo portò alla morte all’età di soli 23 anni. La disfida di Aldobrandino da Conselve (Padova, Museo Civico) testimonia l'interesse dell’artista per i soggetti storici; il suo limitato corpus di opere comprende anche una Sacra famiglia, donata a Vittorio Emanuele II e un Ritratto di Margherita di Savoia esposto in una retrospettiva del 1892.
