Guido Reni

Leading Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese School

Did you know?He was notorious for his heavy gambling habit, often losing large sums of money which forced him to paint more rapidly to pay debts.

Guido Reni (Italian pronunciation:; 4 November 1575 – 18 August 1642) was an Italian Baroque painter, although his works showed a classical manner, similar to Simon Vouet, Nicolas Poussin, and Philippe de Champaigne. He painted primarily religious works, but also mythological and allegorical subjects.
