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.

 

Marchini Giovanni Clemente*

MARCHINI GIOVANNI CLEMENTE
Forlì 1877 - 1946
Emigrato tredicenne in Argentina con il padre, fece ritorno in Italia nel 1896. Iscrittosi all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, tramite G. Fattori si avvicinò al linguaggio tardomacchiaiolo. Importanti furono anche i suoi rapporti con altri ambienti artistici italiani e in particolare con i paesaggisti napoletani. Negli anni giovanili realizzò quadri di tema sociale (I vecchi del ricovero, 1899, coll. privata) e dipinti ispirati a fatti di cronaca, guardati con ottica simbolista, mentre in età matura dipinse in prevalenza soggetti agresti e paesaggi (Tra-monto in pineta, Ravenna, coll. Cassa di Risparmio).
