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.

MASSONI EGISTO
Pisa 1854 - Venezia 1929
Dopo un soggiorno in Liguria fu a Roma prima del 1880, epoca nella quale partecipò alla consuetudine delle “scampagnate artistiche”, per dipingere dal vero nella campagna romana (Studi dal vero a Cervara, esposti a Roma nel 1880). Nel decennio seguente si spostò in Campania e a Venezia per dipingere marine (Canale a Venezia, Campiello a Santa Marta in Venezia, esposti a Genova nel 1882). Nella capitale espose con cadenza annuale con le associazioni degli Amatori e Cultori e degli Acquarellisti fino al 1893.
