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.

CAVALLI GIOVANNI
Torino 1865 - Milano 1932
Allievo a Milano di F. Carcano, risentì nella produzione giovanile dell'influenza del maestro e delle direttive accademiche. Si dedicò essenzialmente alla pittura di paesaggio partecipando ad alcune pubbliche esposizioni in Piemonte e in Lombardia (Venezia, Lungo il Ticino, esposti a Milano nel 1888; Lago di Vivero- ne, esposto a Como nel 1899). Poco conosciuto in Italia, fu maggiormente apprezzato all'estero. Espose alle Biennali di Venezia del 1912 (Veduta di Newport) e del 1914 (Ultima neve).
