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.

GROSSI CARLO
Carpi (Modena) 1857 - Milano 1931
Appartenente alla colta borghesia carpigiana, frequentò le lezioni private di L. Rossi per iscriversi poi all’Accademia modenese di Belle Arti. A Carpi decorò fastosamente, con ampi pannelli murali, la sala dei ricevimenti di Palazzo Foresti, dipingendo in un clima ormai decisamente liberty, sinuose figure femminili con le ore del giorno e della notte immerse in un elegante gioco di fronde e fiori. Si specializzò nelle nature morte e nelle composizioni floreali (Carpi, Museo Civico), interesse confermato anche dalle opere presentate a Brera fra il 1887 e il 1896 dopo il suo definitivo trasferimento a Milano.
