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.

MARTORANA BERNARDO
Palermo 1846 - ?
Poche le notizie su questo pittore, che le fonti ricordano come uno dei migliori allievi dell’Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli, dove si fece notare per gli studi di anatomia. Seguace di A. Iuvarra, si dedicò anche all’incisione. Espose più volte alle mostre della Promotrice di Napoli (1875, La donna emancipata; 1876, Gioie intime; 1880, La figlia del colono; 1883, Col cane di punta; 1885, Commedia eterna; 1891, Cacciando in montagna) e nel 1883 alla Mostra Italo-Spagnola di Berlino (Alfa e Omega).
