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.

 

Conti Antonio*

CONTI ANTONIO
Acqualagna (Pesaro) 1827 - Rimini (Forlì) 1900
Compì gli studi a Pesaro e quindi a Roma, formandosi sui modelli dei maestri del Seicento emiliano e sulla pittura marchigiana del secolo precedente. Si dedicò soprattutto a dipinti di soggetto religioso che lasciò numerosi nelle chiese del pesarese (Acqualagna, Cagli, Pergola, Novafeltria, Sant’Agata Feltria, Fermignano). Nei semplificati temi devozionali mantenne l'eleganza e la ricchezza della cultura accademica come nella Sacra Famiglia (1875) e nell’Immacolata con i Santi Rocco e Sebastiano della chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo a Macerata Feltria. Trasferitosi a Rimini, negli anni tardi Conti si occupò anche di scultura e di restauro (studi e modelli presso gli eredi).
