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.

 

Cavallaro Giuseppe*

CAVALLARO GIUSEPPE
Palermo 1832 - ?
Allievo del pittore-scenografo G. Lentini, lavorò al seguito del suo maestro alla decorazione del teatro Carolino di Palermo (poi Bellini). L'esperienza acquisita in quel cantiere lo portò a eseguire alcune decorazioni del teatro Massimo con temi spesso in relazione ai contenuti dei melodrammi (Falstaff e I puritani). Nel 1879 dipinse alcune scene per il teatro comunale di Racalmuto. Autore di decorazioni di interni in alcuni palazzi palermitani, lasciò anche diversi quadri da cavalletto oggi dispersi.
