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.

 

Satta Giacinto*

SATTA GIACINTO
Cagliari 1851 - 1912
Nel 1877 dopo aver conseguito la laurea in Giurisprudenza, si trasferì, come corrispondente del Secolo, a Parigi dove subì il fascino degli Impressionisti e soprattutto di E. Degas. Al rientro in Sardegna, nel 1893, si dedicò all’insegnamento e nel 1896 presentò all’Esposizione Artistica di Sassari Due donne che sfornano il pane e La ballate di Lagulentu. Accanto all’attività politica e a quella di pubblicista, proseguì la pratica della pittura con una personale interpretazione delle correnti d’oltralpe.
