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.

 

Litta Biumi Pompeo*

LITTA BIUMI POMPEO
Milano 1828 - 1888
Nato da una nobile famiglia milanese, unì all’amore per gli studi di geografia la passione per la pittura, alla quale venne iniziato da E. Sala. Si dedicò alla realizzazione di quadri di animali e al ritratto, comparendo saltuariamente alle esposizioni di Brera. Seguì i più affermati modelli della ritrattistica lombarda e in alcuni dipinti si tenne vicino all’esempio del maestro (Lo scultore Antonio Galli, 1858, Milano, Accademia di Brera), mentre in Il conte Antonio Durini a cavallo (1875, Milano, Galleria d'Arte Moderna) si nota l’attenzione per l’opera di S. De Albertis.
