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.

 

Corvini Giovanni *

CORVINI GIOVANNI
Milano 1829 - Parabiago (Milano) 1894
Allievo di G. Bisi all’Accademia di Brera, Corvini esordì nel 1854 alla Promotrice di Torino. Paesaggista, restò fedele agli insegnamenti del suo maestro, guardando, forse, all’opera del Piccio, ma senza tuttavia allontanarsi dal gusto convenzionale corrente, venendo incontro alle esigenze di arredo della borghesia milanese. Pittore molto fecondo, espose fino al 1880, a Milano e a Torino, vedute della Lombardia ma anche della campagna romana e siciliana. Suoi paesaggi sono conservati presso la Pinacoteca di Brera (Campagna lombarda, 1851; Bosco con acqua e macchiette) e presso la Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Milano (Paesaggio, 1856).
