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.

ZUCCARO ANTONIO
San Vito al Tagliamento (Pordenone) 1815 - 1892
Frequentò con merito l’Accademia di Venezia dal 1844 al 1852 e subito dopo si trasferì a Trieste dove visse a lungo. Operò come pittore decoratore in alcuni teatri della regione croata (La Civiltà che abbatte l'orrore, teatro di Zara; Glorificazione degli uomini illustri, teatro di Sebenico), trattò la pittura sacra (Annunciazione, 1858, parrocchiale di Orcenico Inferiore, Pordenone), ma riuscì soprattutto nel ritratto, in modi vicini a M. Grigoletti (G. Gattorno, 1853, coll. privata; G. A. de Goraccichi, Trieste, Museo Civico di Storia e Arte). Espose a Trieste (1865, Pia dei Tolomei; 1873, La filatrice), Roma (1883, Costumi della Dalmazia) e Firenze (1883, Ritratto).
