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.

 

Roti Crescenziano*

ROTI CRESCENZIANO
Città di Castello (Perugia) 1811 - 1840
Iniziati gli studi all’Accademia fiorentina sotto la guida di P. Benvenuti e G. Bezzuoli, si perfezionò poi a Roma con T. Minardi e F. Agricola. Della sua produzione resta testimonianza in Marte incatenato dai giganti (coll. privata) e nei dipinti della Pinacoteca Comunale di Città di Castello: oltre al ritratto di Felice Mariottini e a quello di Alessandro Buratti, improntato a un realismo quasi caricaturale, vi si trova la grande tela Celestino II assolve la Francia dall'interdetto, dipinto di vago sapore troubadour, dotato di una magniloquenza di memoria ingresiana.
