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.

RIZZI EMILIO
Cremona 1881 - Brescia 1952
Allievo presso la milanese Accademia di Brera di C. Tallone e G. Mentessi, dal 1904 al 1906 completò la propria formazione con un soggiorno a Roma, dove frequentò la scuola di A. Mancini. Al genere di pittura tardoromantica e ai soggetti di carattere sociale e umanitario (I lavoratori del gas, 1905, coll. privata; Mestizia, 1907, Ascoli Piceno, Pinacoteca Civica) seguirono, durante gli anni di un fortunato soggiorno parigino (1909-1915), quadri di figura ispirati a eleganti personaggi femminili (L'attesa, A la glace, presentati al Salon des Indépendents del 1910, entrambi in coll. privata).
