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.

 

Delfico De Filippis Melchiorre *

DELFICO DE FILIPPIS MELCHIORRE
Teramo 1825 - Napoli 1895
Studiò nel Reai Istituto di Belle Arti di Napoli come allievo di S. Fergola, al quale si deve collegare la sua rara produzione di vedute di impianto tradizionale (Il tramonto del sole, esposto alla Mostra Borbonica del 1841). Si affermò tuttavia come disegnatore e pungente caricaturista (Se non si accomoda questa strada non possiamo abbracciarci) collaborando alla rivista partenopea Omnibus pittoresco, diretta da V. Torelli.
