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.

PONGA GIUSEPPE
Chioggia (Venezia) 1856 - Venezia 1925
Si diplomò all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia e nella sua vasta opera, nei campi della pittura murale e da cavalletto, della miniatura e dell’acquerello, ripercorse la maniera e i temi dei modelli settecenteschi di G. B. Tiepolo e di F. Guardi. Ricevette incarichi prestigiosi, come le decorazioni del Palazzo del Parlamento di Budapest, quelle del padiglione dei Cimeli all’Esposizione di Roma del 1910 e di alcune sale del Palazzo Reale di Venezia. Dell’artista sono anche dieci pannelli neosettecenteschi che ornano il Caffè Quadri, sempre a Venezia.
