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.

VENTURI LUIGI
Attivo a Bologna fra il 1828 e il 1875
Le prime notizie relative a quest'artista risalgono al 1828, quando era studente presso l'Accademia bolognese. Fu autore di paesaggi e vedute cittadine di gusto romantico (Bosco di antiche querce con rito druidico, 1854; Il Canale delle Moline di Bologna, 1867 ca., Bologna, Pinacoteca Nazionale) in cui è evidente l'influenza del bolognese A. Basoli. Fu presente dal 1847 alle mostre bolognesi e a quelle di Firenze (1861, Pianura con bestiami che tornano a casa verso sera, Paese raffigurante il bagno di due donne al tramontare del sole), Torino (1863, Una giornata d'estate) e Vienna (1873).
