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.

 

Palumbo Michele*

PALUMBO MICHELE
Calimera (Lecce) 1874 - Lecce 1949
Studiò dapprima a Maglie (Lecce) sotto la guida di P. E. Stasi e poi all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. A Napoli, dove si trasferì nel 1903, frequentò lo studio di G. Casciaro, perfezionandosi nella tecnica del pastello. Rientrato a Lecce, fu prolifico esecutore di paesaggi, marine, interni, ritratti, quadri di fiori, nature morte e animali, questi ultimi non esenti da marcate reminiscenze palizziane. Fino agli anni più tardi, sviluppò un’intensa attività espositiva, iniziata con la mostra della Promotrice di Napoli del 1904 (Testa di capra, Impressione, Olivi).
