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.

 

Quinzio Antonio Orazio*

QUINZIO ANTONIO ORAZIO
Genova 1856 - 1928
Scultore e pittore ereditò dal padre, Giovanni, la pennellata sciolta e ariosa che caratterizza le opere di grandi dimensioni, come le tempere del primo Novecento per il salone della Banca d’Italia di Genova (Trionfo dell'arte navale, Amor patrio, Intraprendenza dei Genovesi, Genova, coll. Banca d'Italia; studi preparatori a Genova, Accademia Ligustica) o gli affreschi per la chiesa di San Bartolomeo delle Ginestre a Sestri Levante e per quella dei Santi Martino e Benedetto a Pegli. Un delicato realismo borghese informa invece le opere di formato ridotto e i ritratti (Ritratto di giovane donna, coll. privata)
