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.

 

Menegatti Pietro*

MENEGATTI PIETRO
Molvena (Vicenza) 1809 - Venezia 1848
Allievo del disegnatore e ritrattista F. Roberti, studiò presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, dove nel 1832 presentava un saggio scolastico. Fu poi attivo a Bassano (Vicenza) con opere di tema sacro (La beata Giovanna Maria Bonomo rivela l'innocenza della madre, realizzato per la chiesa della Misericordia) e ri-tratti (Ritratto di Ippolita Roberti Vittorelli, 1839, Bassano, Museo Civico). Stabilitosi a Venezia negli anni '40, dipinse ancora soggetti religiosi (San Bonaventura, per la chiesa dei Riformati) e nel 1847 espose alla Mostra accademica (Ritratto di una famiglia, Ettore Fieramosca, San Giovanni Battista innanzi a Erode).
