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.

FERRETTI PAOLO
Roma 1864 - 1937
Fu allievo di F. Prosperi alla romana Accademia di San Luca. Si accostò alla pittura di paesaggio grazie all'amicizia con N. Costa e nel 1893 esordì con il gruppo “In Arte Libertas”, al quale restò poi sempre legato (1900, Sulla via Nomentana, In autunno). A partire dal 1895 fu spesso presente anche alle mostre della Società Amatori e Cultori (1905, fra gli altri, Ultimi raggi, Roma, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna). Nel 1904 fu tra i fondatori del gruppo dei “XXV della Campagna Romana”.
