Guido Reni 1575 - 1642

Guido Reni was a late Baroque artist. He was born in Bologna and began to study painting at the age of nine in the studio of Flemish artist, Denis Calvaert. Francesco Albani and Domenichino were also apprenticed to this studio.

In around 1595 he, Albani and Domenichino joined the Accademia delgi Incamminati, the studio led by Lodovico Carracci, following Annibale Carracci to Rome in 1601 to work on the frescoes in the Palazzo Farnese. 

Reni became one of Pope Paul V's favourite painters and the Borghese family were one of his main patrons and his paintings and frescoes can be found in many of Rome's churches.
