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.

SAVINI GIACOMO
Bologna 1767 (o 1768) - 1842
Le fonti ricordano un suo alunnato presso V. Martinelli a Bologna. Si dedicò prevalentemente alla decorazione di interni, specializzandosi nella realizzazione di 'stanze a paese’. Fu autore anche di paesaggi di piccole dimensioni, realizzati su metallo e destinati al mercato dei souvenirs de voyage (Paesaggi, Bologna, Museo Davia Bargellini), nei quali fece uso di un linguaggio corsivo e vivace per l'inserimento di scene figurate. In tarda età fu nominato socio d’onore presso l'Accademia bolognese.
