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.

RICOZZI FRANCESCO
Sant'Elia Fiumerapido (Frosinone) 1860 - Napoli 1912
Studiò a Napoli, frequentando i corsi serali di disegno, ed esordì alla Promotrice di Torino nel 1878 con un soggetto di genere. Seguì un soggiorno in Sicilia, durato almeno fino al 1886 e dal quale derivarono i paesaggi presentati alle mostre di Napoli nel 1880 e nel 1886 (Piccoli profili della Sicilia-Acireale, Contrada Grotta- Acireale). Dal 1887 ritornò stabilmente a Napoli e presentò alle mostre scorci partenopei (Corso Vittorio Emanuele dal Palazzo Cariati, Angolo del corso V. Emanuele a S. Maria Apparente) e ritratti a pastello nero (1888, Celestino Summonte).
