Guido Reni (1575-1642) Baptised on 7 November 1575 in Bologna where, like Domenichino, he first studied under Denis Calvaert before entering the Carracci Academy c. 1594. He worked principally in Bologna and Rome, but also undertook commissions in Mantua, Ravenna and Modena, for example. He died in Bologna on 18 August 1642.

Books: The Divine Guido : Religion, Sex, Money and Art in the World of Guido Reni by Richard E. Spear, Guido Reni (Hardcover - December 1997) The author is a professor of art history with an unusual approach to his subject, Guido Reni (1575-1642). He discusses the interlocking effects of "Religion, Sex, Money and Art" in the work of a painter who was violently pious, an addicted gambler always greedy for money, a believer in witchcraft, a homosexual by inclination (not necessarily by practice), and a man very testy about his social status. Not an attractive figure. The author attempts to sort out how much of Reni's conduct is attributable to ideas common at the time and how much can be considered the painter's personal invention. The discussion is most interesting when the author concentrates on his own reading of Reni's work (excellently illustrated) and his interpretation of Reni's actions, less so when he depends on outside authorities--for it seems that Professor Spear has never met a quotation he didn't like.
