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.

Roggiano Gravina (Cosenza) 1823 - Napoli 1890
Avviato all’arte sotto la guida di G. Cammarano, si iscrisse poi all'Accademia di Napoli come allievo di C. Guerra e di C. Angelini (1854, Ritratto di Costanzo Angelini, Napoli, Galleria dell’Accademia). Ai quadri di soggetto religioso e ai ritratti affiancò tematiche letterarie di vena romantica (Omero al sepolcro di Ettore, esposto a Napoli nel 1851). Fu presente alle mostre napoletane fino al 1877 e alle mostre nazionali di Milano nel 1872 (Dante) e di Vienna nel 1873 (Dante dalla luce guarda Roma nelle tenebre).
