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.

CORDELLA GIACOMO
Fermo (Ascoli Piceno) 1824 - 1909
Appartenente a una nobile famiglia fermana, fu allievo a Roma di J. F. Overbeck e ricordato, negli anni intorno al 1850, come attivo in alcune imprese decorative (chiese di San Berardo, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, e in Vaticano). Fedele ai principi della scuola dei Nazareni, si dedicò esclusivamente all’arte sacra lasciando nella sua città opere nel duomo (Coro d'inverno), in San Domenico, nella chiesa del Carmine e nella chiesa di Santa Caterina; decorò la chiesa della Pietà con I primi episodi della vita di San Giovanni Battista.
