A Baroque painter who worked like a classicist - cool, measured, untouched by the era's drama. Reni made saints and gods look like they'd stepped out of a calmer century, and for that restraint he became the most powerful artist in Bologna.

About this person

Born in Bologna on 4 November 1575, Guido Reni trained under the Carracci, the family that rewired Italian painting at the turn of the seventeenth century. He worked in Rome and Naples, painting religious scenes and mythological subjects with a classical composure that set him apart from the heavier theatrics around him. His manner drew comparisons to Simon Vouet, Nicolas Poussin, and Philippe de Champaigne - all coolness and proportion in an age of shadow and torque. By the time he returned to Bologna, he had become the dominant figure in its school, the Carracci influence flowing through him into a generation of painters. He died there on 18 August 1642.
