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.

CROSIO LUIGI
Alba (Cuneo) 1835 - Torino 1915
Allievo dell'Accademia Albertina di Torino, eseguì scene di genere ambientate di preferenza nel secolo XVII con gusto pompeiano, caratterizzate da minuzia descrittiva, curiosità e gusto narrativo non lontani da quelli di G. Turletti e P. C. Gilardi. Seguendo questa vena prosastica realizzò opere destinate alla riproduzione in cromolitografia, che gli venivano commissionate da editori italiani e stranieri. Dagli anni '60 prese parte alle mostre torinesi (1861, Rebecca ed Ivanhoe; 1863, S. M. Maria Pia Regina di Portogallo, 1870, Scena domestica a Pompei), genovesi (1866, Il marito in ritardo) e milanesi (1865, La Bibbia del curato, Torino, Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna).
