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.

 

Marchiori Domenico*

MARCHIORI DOMENICO
Lendinara (Rovigo) 1828 - 1905
Laureatosi in matematica a Padova, si dedicò tardi alla pittura, che affiancò all’attività politica e agli impegni nella pubblica amministrazione. Nel 1874 espose alla Promotrice di Torino un quadro di costume storico (Cleopatra), genere al quale si indirizzò anche in seguito con opere di soggetto neopompeiano (Dal triclinio al cubicolo, esposto a Venezia nel 1887). Eletto in Parlamento, visse a Roma dal 1878 al 1880, frequentando, anche se in età avanzata, l'Accademia del Nudo. Dipinse a fresco (Palazzo Marchiori, Lendinara), eseguì ritratti e pale d’altare (chiesa di Cavazzana, Rovigo).
