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.

CAVALLERI GIOVANNI
Sabbio (Brescia) 1858 - Bergamo 1934
Allievo di E. Scuri all’Accademia Carrara di Bergamo, dal 1882 al 1884 soggiornò a Roma in compagnia dell'amico R. Agazzi aprendosi, sulla scia di A. Mancini e della scuola napoletana di Portici, a suggestioni veriste (A mare, esposto a Milano nel 1884) riconoscibili anche nei ritratti (Ritratto virile, Bergamo, Ac-cademia Carrara). Più fedele a schemi tradizionali appare l'intensa attività di frescante svolta dal Cavalleri dal 1888 per chiese del bergamasco e culminata, tra il 1908 e il 1912, nella decorazione neoquattrocentesca della Parrocchiale di Ponte Nossa.
