Artist
Guido Reni (November 4,
1575 - August 18, 1642) was a prominent Italian painter of high-Baroque
style.
Biography
Born in Bologna into a family of musicians, Guido Reni was the son of
Danieli Reni and Ginevra de Pozzi. As a child of nine, he was
apprenticed under the Bolognese studio of Denis Calvaert. Soon after, he
was joined in that studio by Albani and Domenichino. He may also have
trained with a painter by the name of Ferrantini. When Reni was about
twenty years old, the three Calvaert pupils migrated to the rising rival
studio, named Accademia degli Incamminati (Academy of the "newly
embarked", or progressives), led by Lodovico Carracci. They went on to
form the nucleus of a prolific and successful school of Bolognese
painters who followed Annibale Carracci to Rome. Like many other
Bolognese painters, Reni's painting was thematic and eclectic in style. |
