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.

 

Corrodi Ermanno (Hermann David Salomon) *

CORRODI ERMANNO
Frascati (Roma) 1844 - Roma 1905
Si formò a Roma con il padre e proseguì i suoi studi a Parigi e a Londra con L. Alma Tadema. Pittore di genere e di paesaggio, dai ricercati effetti di luce e d'atmosfera, eseguì vedute della campagna romana, marine (Capri, esposto al Salon di Parigi del 1889) e soggetti derivati dai viaggi in Oriente (in Egitto nel 1876, in Turchia nel 1887). La scelta di suggestive inquadrature (La torre di Napoleone in Corsica, Roma, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna) lo rese gradito a una vasta committenza internazionale, soprattutto inglese.
