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.

 

Pellesina Giovanni Paolo*

PELLESINA GIOVANNI PAOLO
Verona 1802 - Marano di Valpolicella (Verona) 1857
Si formò all’Accademia Cignaroli di Verona, dove si accostò ai modi di S. Dalla Rosa e del figlio di questi, Domenico. Dal 1851 divenne socio attivo dell’Accademia. Fu ritrattista (Ritratto del conte Girolamo Pompei, Verona, Galleria d’Arte Moderna) e autore di dipinti di soggetto sacro, che testimoniano della sua adesione a un neocinquecentismo orientato verso i modelli della tradizione locale (Madonna con bambino e san Camillo, chiesa di Santa Maria del Paradiso, Verona).
