Catalog

Thanks to the results of the research carried out on Vincenzo Irolli's Private Archive in Naples, Enzo Savoia's Gallery Bottegantica, Milan, has deemed it more necessary than ever to promote the publication of the catalogue raisonné of the works of this Neapolitan artist, so as to bring order to what is now the corpus of known and certified works by Vincenzo Irolli. A prolific painter of great talent and spontaneity, Irolli, precisely because of his vast oeuvre, is unfortunately often falsified.

The catalogue raisonné of Vincenzo Irolli, edited by Enzo Savoia and Monica Castellarin, is currently being prepared and will include, in addition to an essay aimed at understanding the artist in the light of the recent examination carried out in Naples, a repertory of color plates and the cataloguing of the archived works, divided by subject, which at present counts approximately one thousand five hundred works between oils on canvas and panel, watercolors and drawings. Together they testify to the artist's inexhaustible activity that began around 1880 and ended in 1949, the year of his death.

As early as 2002, Galleria Bottegantica initiated the study and cataloging of the works of the Neapolitan master, publishing the works belonging to the collection of Colonel Leopoldo Montanari, Bologna, in the text: Vincenzo Irolli; Painter of the Sun, edited by Enzo Savoia.
