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.

RONCHETTI PIETRO
Attivo a Milano fra il 1851 e il 1861
Artista di formazione romantica, espose le sue suggestive vedute nel 1851 e nel 1853 alle rassegne milanesi di Brera. Nel 1860 dedicò alcuni dipinti agli eventi della II guerra d'Indipendenza (Battaglia di Varese, Scena con Garibaldini sulla strada di S. Fermo, esposti a Milano nel 1860) e parve aggiornare i suoi paesaggi brianzoli e comaschi attraverso una maggiore attenzione al reale.
