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.

 

Gaspari Antonio*

GASPARI ANTONIO
Cremona 1793 - dopo il 1870
Cognato del poeta A. Aleardi e legato al movimento irredentista veronese, ebbe maggior peso culturale come scrittore e come critico che per la sua attività pittorica. Partecipò con ritratti alle mostre veronesi del 1835, del 1840 (fra gli altri, Ritratto del Podestà G. Girolamo Orti Manara, coll. privata) e del 1846 (Au-toritratto). Eseguì anche alcune opere di soggetto sacro, come il dipinto per il coro della chiesa di Sant’Agata a Cremona (1823) e la tela con S. Antonio abate per la Parrocchiale di Marcellise, presso Verona (1843), dove si avvalse di sperimentate forme accademiche unitamente a originali recuperi tiepoleschi.
