Guercino BiographyItalian Baroque artistborn 1591 - died 1666 Also known as: Giovanni Francesco
Barbieri. |
||||||
|
Barbieri was a Baroque painter from the Bolognese School, who because Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was cross-eyed gained the nickname Il Guercino, meaning the squinter. Had a flowing style of Guercino painting that was emotional, where his figures seemed highly animated and full of energy. The artist was born in the city of Cento in the province of Ferrara of the Emilia-Romagna Region. |
|||||||
| It is said that Guercino was largely self-taught, but living in Bologna Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was influenced by the painting of Ludovico Carracci (1555 – 1619). Carracci, from a family of painters, including his well known cousins Annibale and Agostino, had a distinct emotional style that implored broad gestures seen in his figures. This style became largely characteristic of Guercino paintings. |

| He had a tremendous output of work with over 100 documented altarpieces, additional to many other Guercino paintings and Guercino drawings. His contemporaries included Benedetto Gennari (1563 – 1658) also of Cento and Guido Reni (1575 – 1642) of Bologna. Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was invited to Rome by Pope Gregory XV (1554 – 1623) and in his two years there produced several Guercino paintings, including a portrait of the Pope, now in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. | |||||||
|
During this
time in 1623, Guercino painted his
masterpiece, The Burial of Saint Petronilla,
a large, dramatic fresco for a chapel in
Saint Peter’s Basilica. Giovanni Francesco
Barbieri also painted a
popular Mythological fresco for the Casino
di Villa Boncompagni Ludovisi in Rome, known
as the Aurora. The villa is sometimes even
called the Casino dell’Aurora del Guercino
in the artist’s honor. Of his non religious or mythological Guercino paintings are pieces styled almost as pastoral or genre paintings, such as Summer Diversions, which is now in the Uffizi Gallery. Guercino had a number of pupils and did not stop painting and teaching until death. . |
