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.

RIVA EGIDIO
Milano 1866 - 1946
Fu allievo di G. Bertini presso la milanese Accademia di Brera, dove esordì nel 1885 con una veduta monumentale dal vero. Fino ai primi decenni del Novecento espose con regolarità alle mostre braidensi (1902, Prime nebbie, Milano, Accademia di Brera) e a quelle della Permanente, muovendosi nel solco di una pacata adesione al vero. A soggetti di figura alternò paesaggi ispirati alla val Vigezzo e ai laghi lombardi (Raggio di sole, esposto alla Permanente del 1915, Milano, Galleria d'Arte Moderna).
