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.

 

Tolomei Baldastricca*

TOLOMEI BALDASTRICCA
Pistoia ? - 1866
E’ ricordato soprattutto come pittore di paesaggi romantici e intensamente suggestivi mentre le opere comparse alle mostre testimoniano il suo interesse per la pittura sacra e per quella storico-letteraria: all'Accademia di Firenze presentò nel 1844 Ossian che canta il suo poema ai cacciatori della Scozia e Paese ov'è espresso Gesù Cristo che mostra un fanciullo ai discepoli. Alla Promotrice di Genova del 1854 inviò Gita in Emmaus e nel 1855 espose a Firenze La schiavitù degli ebrei in Babilonia.
