FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

Active in Rome and Bologna, Guido Reni was one of the most important printmakers of the 17th century. He was familiar with the dramatic works of Caravaggio, and he also maintained the Raphaelesque classicism espoused by the Carraccis in those two cities.
