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.

 

Cominotti Giuseppe*

COMINOTTI GIUSEPPE
Cuneo 1792 - Torino 1833
Disegnatore del Genio Civile, giunse in Sardegna nel 1823, all'avvio dei lavori per la strada statale Carlo Felice. All'attività di architetto e di incisore fu connessa l’elaborazione di acquerelli di paesaggio e di costume, dove mostrò spiccate capacità analitiche come nella serie realizzata tra il 1825 e il 1832 (Torino, Biblioteca Nazionale), nella quale compaiono accurate descrizioni dei luoghi suggestivi dell'entroterra sardo.
