Guercino: Stylistic Evolution in Focus

By Shilpa Prasad

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), more commonly known as Guercino , was one of the most prolific and celebrated artists of his time. Essentially self-taught, he was profoundly influenced by the Carraci-the brothers Annibale and Agostino, and their cousin Ludovico-who initiated a reform of painting to replace what was considered stale, contrived mannerism with a sense of naturalism. In Guercino: Stylistic Evolution in Focus , Shilpa Prasad offers new insights into the artist through an exploration of the complex, intellectually rich environment in which Guercino thrived
