  Guido Reni - LoveToKnow 1911
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.
The pontifical chapel of Montecavallo was assigned to Reni to paint; but, being straitened in payments by the ministers, the artist made off to Bologna.
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.

 Biography
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.

Reni first studied alongside Domenichino in a Flemish painter's studio in Bologna; ten years later he joined the Carracci academy to learn their classicizing style.
Reni the man was notoriously pious and eccentric.
Reni disliked and feared women, barring them from his house even as servants; even so, he was devoted to his mother and renowned for his soulful Madonnas and Magdalenes.

 Guido Reni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 of fever.
In his temper there was a large amount of suspiciousness; and the jealousy which his abilities and his successes excited, now from the Caracci, now from Albani, now from the monopolizing league of Neapolitan painters, may naturally have kept this feeling in active exercise.
The celebrated picture of "Fortune" (in the Capitol) is one of Reni's finest treatments of female form; as a specimen of male form, the "Samson Drinking from the Jawbone of an Ass" might be named beside it.

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.

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.
Spear sees Reni not as a tidy cipher--the melancholic loner, the courtly manipulator, the temperamental creator--but as a jagged, conflicted character who can be all of these things at once.

 Spectator, The: misogynist who painted Madonnas, The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
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.
In saying that Reni's depictions of St Sebastian, Lucretia, Cleopatra, and the Maries' appeal to viewers through complexly layered, gendered biases, I mean by way of their indeterminate messages about male and female behaviour, particularly because no conventional androcentricity seems to have determined their looks and actions.

Reni si fa anche interprete del gusto colto e aristocratico dei committenti e a Roma trova la protezione di Paolo V e di Scipione Borghese.
Al ritorno dall'ultimo soggiorno romano Reni lavora, tra il 1611 e il 1612, a Bologna, a una delle opere che più esprimono la poetica dell'idea: la Strage degli Innocenti (Pinacoteca nazionale, Bologna).

 Guido Reni --  Encyclopædia Britannica
First apprenticed to the Flemish painter Denis Calvaert at the age of 10, Reni was later influenced by the novel naturalism of the Carracci, a Bolognese family of painters.
He assisted Guido Reni in a number of major decorative cycles, including that of the Chapel of the Annunciation (1609–12) in the Quirinal Palace and the choir (1612–14) of Santa Maria della Pace.
The mood of his paintings is calm and serene, as are the softness of color and form.

In contrast, when using the C-terminal half of various RENi family members as query sequence in PSI-BLAST [19], the searches are invaded by SUMO proteins (hitting only the segment of SD2) before the RENi family can be collected.
This means that the SD2 domain sequence segments of the RENi group and the family of single-domain SUMO proteins are not well separated in sequence space (Figure 3).
RENi proteins lack conservation of the carboxy-terminal double-glycine motif required for covalent attachment of SUMO to its substrates.

 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.

A contemporary biographer of Reni reports that the artist, famed for his depictions of devout saints and beautiful women, created this composition in order to show that he was the equal of any master in depicting the muscular male nude.
Reni often worked with the printmaker Coriolano, who produced eighteen chiaroscuro woodcuts after Reni's designs.
Like Salvator Rosa, whose etching of the same subject hangs nearby, Reni drew inspiration from Giulio Romano's frescoed room in the Palazzo Te in Mantua, where the viewer is surrounded by images of huge, cartoonlike Giants crushed beneath crumbling mountains and fallen columns.
