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.

 

Rovea Giorgio*

ROVEA GIORGIO
? 1815 ca. - Torino 1892 ca.
Sono poche le notizie biografiche su questo artista, documentato nel 1843 alla Mostra annuale della Promotrice di Torino. Dopo aver esordito con opere di storia contemporanea, si dedicò esclusivamente alla natura morta di fiori e frutti, eseguendo tele di dimensioni ridotte, nelle quali l’impianto e la disposizione rimandano agli esemplari di scuola fiamminga presenti alla Galleria Sabauda di Torino: attitudine che gli valse l’appellativo di “Van Huysum del Piemonte” (Frutta-settembre, 1862, Frutta- agosto, 1864, Torino, Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna).
