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.

SUSANI GIOVANNI
Modena 1805 - 1871
Allievo di C. Crespolani presso la modenese Accademia Atestina, qui in seguito fu insegnante di paesaggio, divenendo un punto di riferimento per il paesaggismo locale, come attestano le numerose copie di sue opere eseguite dagli alunni della scuola. I dipinti Festa alla Villa del Pentetorri (1831), Castello di Monte- cuccolo (entrambi a Modena, Museo Civico) e Giardino Ducale di Modena (1851, coll. privata) mostrano stretti legami col vedutismo neoclassico del parmense G. Boccaccio, con cui probabilmente l'artista fu in contatto. Di gusto arcadico appare anche il secondo sipario (detto 'comodino'), eseguito nel 1830 per il distrutto teatro Comunale modenese.
