GUIDO RENI (1575-1642) The Bolognese painter Guido Reni (November 4, 1575- August 18, 1642) epistomizes much that was best and some that has been embarrassing in Baroque painting. He was one of the most admired artists of his day, and his theatrical and accessible paintings are the stock-in-trade of sentimental Roman Catholic wallet-cards today.-wikipedia.en |
