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.

 

Giorgetti Guelfo*

GIORGETTI GUELFO
Montefano (Macerata) 1875 - 1935
Trasferitosi molto giovane in Argentina con la famiglia, frequentò i corsi dell’Accademia di Buenos Aires, dove affrescò la cupola del teatro Colon. Nel 1900 rientrò in Italia per dedicarsi a un’intensa attività di de-coratore, prediligendo le tecniche dell'affresco e dell’encausto. Sono suoi i bozzetti ad acquerello per le decorazioni dei soffitti del romano Palazzo Taverna, mentre per la sua città natale eseguì i progetti per la decorazione della chiesa dei Cappuccini. Lasciò anche ritratti, studi di figura (Nudo maschile, coll. privata) e paesaggi.
