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.

PICCINA GIOVANNI
Boccioleto (Vercelli) 1839 - 1901
Dopo la formazione alla Scuola di Disegno di Varallo e la frequenza dei corsi alla milanese Accademia di Brera, si trasferì in Francia, dove si specializzò nella pittura di soggetto religioso ricavando un discreto successo, come attestano le numerose commissioni ottenute anche in Spagna, Svizzera e America. In Italia realizzò opere nel Novarese (Gesù che appare a S. Margherita Maria Alacoque, Novara, Ospedale Maggiore), in Lombardia (Apparizione del Sacro Cuore, Monza, ospedale) e nel Veneto. La Pinacoteca di Varallo conserva un suo Autoritratto.
