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.

 

Fossataro Raffaele*

FOSSATARO RAFFAELE
Santa Maria Capua Vetere (Caserta) 1870 - Napoli 1959
Giurista e letterato, si dedicò allo studio della pittura di paesaggio al seguito dell’amico F. Rossano. Di questi condivise la ricerca della sintesi formale ottenuta con l'uso di pochi colori, mantenendo una sua visione più analitica del reale. Dai primi anni del secolo partecipò alle promotrici partenopee e alle mostre del Circolo Artistico di Napoli. Oltre a P. Scoppetta e a V. Caprile, frequentò N. De Corsi, con il quale si recava a dipingere dal vero.
