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.

FERRARI GIUSEPPE
Roma 1840 ? - Rieti 1905
Studiò presso l'Accademia di San Luca a Roma, seguendo l'indirizzo del ritratto e del quadro di figura. Compì viaggi in Terra Santa, in Tunisia e Algeria, dai quali riportò studi da utilizzare in seguito sia in opere di soggetto sacro (Cristo al Getsemani, Roma, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna) sia di costume orientale (Festa nuziale nell'Oasi di Gabes, esposto alla Mostra della Società degli Amatori e Cultori del 1879). Con tali soggetti, ma anche con ritratti e paesaggi, fu assiduo alle mostre romane fino al 1903 e a quelle di Torino (1880, Musicanti arabi, Il saluto), di Milano (1881, Ebrea tunisina, 1893, Poetessa Istar) e di Venezia (1895).
