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.

RICCIARDI OSCAR
Napoli 1864 - 1935
Paesaggista e pittore di genere, ritrasse la vita e i luoghi del suo paese, a olio e ad acquerello. Nelle sue opere, spesso destinate al mercato estero, si avvalse di un fare sintetico, attento alle luci e agli aspetti suggestivi del paesaggio. Fu presente alle promotrici Salvator Rosa dal 1879 al 1904 (1879, Barche a Mergellina; 1880, Ricordo di Soccavo; 1881, Fanfulla che si accinge a partire da San Marco; 1882, Beati pauperes spiritu; 1886, Ricordi di Roma; 1897, Rimembranze di Capri; 1904, Vecchia Napoli), e alle esposizioni di Palermo (1891-1892), Milano (1894) e Torino (1896,1902,1908).
