	Guido Reni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guido Reni (November 4, 1575, Calvenzano di Vergato, near Bologna - August 18, 1642, Bologna) was a prominent Italian painter of high-Baroque style.
		Reni's masterpiece is considered to be the fresco in the ceiling of the large central hall of garden palace, Casino dell'Aurora located in the grounds of the Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi.
		Reni in this painting is allying himself more with the sterner Cavaliere d'Arpino and Francesco Albani "School" of mytho-historic painting, and less with Cortona's excesses.

		GUIDO RENI (1575-1642), a prime master in the Bolognese school of painting, and one of the most admired artists of the period of incipient decadence in Italy, was born at Calvenzano near Bologna on the 4th of November 1575.
		Guido was still in the academy of Calvart when he began frequenting the opposition school kept by Lodovico Caracci, whose style, far in advance of that of the Flemish painter, he dallied with.
		Guido was personally modest, although he valued himself on his position in the art, and would tolerate no slight in that relation; he was extremely upright, temperate in diet, nice in his person and his dress.

		The large altarpieces he painted in Bologna - The Massacre of the Innocents and Pietà dei Mendicanti both in the Bologna Pinacoteca Nazionale - mark the triumph of design, the ability to control and channel feelings, gestures, expressions, drawing, and colour into a single, eloquent, and faultless form.
		Guido Reni's success was underlined by the important commissions he received.
		Guido Reni was a quintessentially classical academic but he was also one of the most elegant painters in the annals of art history.

	Guido Reni
		Guido Reni, a prime master in the Bolognese school of painting, and one of the most admired artists of the period of incipient decadence in Italy, was born at Calvenzano near Bologna on the 4th of November 1575.
		On one occasion Guido had made a copy of Annibale's "Descent from the Cross"; Annibale was asked to retouch it, and, finding nothing to do, exclaimed pettishly, "He knows more than enough" ("Costui ne sa troppo").
		It is said that, tardily wise, Reni left off gambling for nearly two years; at last he relapsed, and his relapse was followed not long afterwards by his death, caused by malignant fever.

	Guido Reni: Baroque Sentiment to Spare - Jason Edward Kaufman
		Sixty-six paintings outline Guido's career from its beginnings in the Academy of the Carracci in Bologna, through his ascendancy in Rome, to his mature phase during his return to the north, culminating in his late style.
		Ironically, it is not the naturalism of his masters' example that dominates Guido's work, but the Mannerist tendencies of the sixteenth century against which the Carracci revolted.
		Though many of the works evince Guido's familiarity with the Carracci and with Caravaggio, it is the elegance and poise of Raphael, stretched toward the overrefinement of such Emilian masters as Correggio and Parmigianino, that ultimately predominate.

		Reni was able to create a balance of strictly disciplined compositional form and profound sentiment that his many imitators failed to achieve.
		Reni also seeks to achieve this equilibrium in his expression of effects and in the distribution of color accents.
		A splendid example of the mature style of Reni, this painting is characterized by a profound classicism in the monumental and noble figure of the saint.

		Guido Reni (1575-1642), who was born and died in Bologna, is usually considered one of the greatest Italian artists of the 17th century, renowned for his religious imagery.
		I propose that Reni's psycho-sexual makeup and personality affected how he pictured and criticised some of his male and female figures, regardless whether more emphasis should be placed on his intense misogyny or his elusive sexual orientation as they bear on his dread of witches and, in turn, 17thcentury societal beliefs about women.
		The basis for undertaking such an approach, according to the author, is the remarkable life of Reni written by Count Carlo Cesare Malvasia, himself a native of Bologna and a near contemporary of the painter, whose `rich and reliable source' the author relies on to such an extent that, '.

		Guido Reni, commonly know as Guido, was born in Calvernzano, Italy near Bologna.
		During Reni´s early career he studied in the Carracci studio and with Ferantini and was influenced by Caravaggio and Raphael.
		Reni´s later years were marked by a turn from the more energetic and exuberant style of his youth, to the use of heavy and dark shadows presumably from Carravaggio´s influence.

		Atalanta is being cold-shouldered by Hippomenes, taking this merely as an example of Reni's stony ideal of classicism or possibly as an example of his aversion to engage the erotica of Ovid.
		Having learned about Reni's fear of physicality--his high level of hygiene, his virginity, his misogyny, and his embarrassment over obscenities and dirty jokes--it is impossible to see Atalanta and Hippomenes in the same way.
		Suddenly Reni starts popping up everywhere in his work in unexpected guises--here as Hippomenes, there as the unseen viewer of suicidal Cleopatras--never as a psychological automaton but instead as an elusive presence speaking within the conventions of Baroque culture.

		It is very exciting to have discovered conclusive evidence of Guido Reni’s self-portrait painted at the outset of his Roman career.
		The enthusiasm for Barocci was strong in Reni’s patrons in the early years of the early years in Rome.
		This is very much a personal record and Reni evidently hesitated with the composition, because the hand was originally shown without the palette and coming out of the sleeve, which had more substantial presence.

	Guido Reni's Abduction of Helen - Cambridge University Press
		This study explores how Guido Reni’s Abduction of Helen functioned as an instrument of political rhetoric in the context of diplomatic relations between Spain, France, and the Holy See during the Thirty Years War.
		Although actually commissioned for the King of Spain by his ambassador to the Holy See, the papacy, the author argues, sought to control the artist’s interpretation of his subject - the famous event that caused the Trojan War - by transforming it into a political metaphor alluding to the war between France and the Habsburgs.
		Contemporary encomia on Guido’s Abduction of Helen show that his style was perceived as analagous to the literary manner of the Seicentismo, which the Barberini papacy promoted as part of its cultural agenda.

	The Divine Guido
		In this highly original study of Italian baroque master Guido Reni (1575-1642), Richard Spear paints a compelling portrait of the artist—his complexities, his formative experiences, his cultural surroundings, and his unique sensibilities.
		Spear views Reni’s career from a wide variety of perspectives and sets his life and works in social, economic, historical, artistic, religious, and psychological contexts.
		The author considers the enduring charisma of Reni’s Crucifixions, weeping Marys, and repentant saints in the light of the Catholic doctrinal meaning of grace in Reni’s time, the Church’s attitude toward Mary and women, and the gendered implications of visual grace.

	Massacre of the Innocents by RENI, Guido
		Though the historical significance of Caravaggio and his enormous influence on Baroque painting cannot be overlooked, we should not ignore the fact that there was considerable resistance against the more extreme tendencies in his art, such as the loss of the heroic sphere, or the presentation of the everyday and the ordinary.
		Before a landscape bathed in light, but set with dark and heavy architecture, a group of eight adults and eight children (including the putti distributing the palm fronds of victory) has been skilfully arranged.
		Reni also seeks to achieve this equilibrium in his expression of effects and in the distribution of colour accents.

		The elegant "Saint Cecilia" exhibits the refined sensibility and pious sentimentality that made Guido Reni the most sought-after Bolognese painter of the seventeenth century.
		This early work was commissioned from Reni by Cardinal Sfondrato, who enthusiastically promoted the cult of Saint Cecilia after the discovery of her remains in 1599.
		The picture was soon acquired by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, another prominent Roman patron of Reni, and was later owned by Lucien Bonaparte and by Marie-Louise Josephine, Queen of Etruria.

	Baptism: Baptism of Christ by Guido Reni
		We often think of Jesus coming to the baptism with a rather triumphant bearing, full in the knowledge that He’s about to start something big.
		But Reni reminds us here what a humiliating thing it is for the infinite Creator of the universe, first merely to appear as a mortal human, but much more to submit to the authority of one of the sinners He has come to save.
		It is true that Christ should not submit to John’s baptism here…His obedience in suffering this humility is another indication of how deeply and sacrificially God loves us and how desperately He wants to redeem us.
