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.

 

Rossi Erminio *

ROSSI ERMINIO
Sannazaro de' Burgondi (Pavia) 1871 - Pavia 1942
Abbandonati gli studi di farmacia, s'iscrisse nel 1895 alla Civica Scuola di Pittura di Pavia e dal 1899 all’Accademia di Brera a Milano, dove fu allievo di C. Tallone. Autore di ritratti e paesaggista, predilesse i soggetti pavesi e gli scorci cittadini, in opere di piccolo formato, fedele a una pittura di solide radici otto-centesche, amata dalla commitenza locale. Fu presente alle esposizioni milanesi di Brera e a quelle della Permanente nei primi anni del nuovo secolo. Un consistente nucleo di opere si conserva presso il Museo Civico di Pavia (Barconi sul Ticino, Cortile di via Alboino).
