Fondazione Sorgente Group pays tribute to the painter Guido Reni on the occasion of the 450th<\/sup> anniversary of his birth, the 4th<\/sup> of November 1575. A great master of the 17th<\/sup> century Bolognese school, he was called by the contemporaries \u201cThe Divine Guido\u201d for his refined, soft style and for the harmony of the forms in his pursuit of ideal beauty. He was also famous for his \u201cintrospective\u201d portraits, intimately depicted with deep emotional involvement.<\/p>\n

So here are famous examples:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n


\nVirgin in Prayer<\/strong><\/em>
\nOil on canvas (50×40 cm)
\nExecuted in 1627 ca.
\nFondazione Sorgente Group Collection<\/p>\n

A highly emotional painting which is placed during the full artistic maturity of the great Bolognese master. The rarefied environment, the bright hues and glazed colour that characterize the Virgin in Prayer, make these prototypical of that delicate sentiment for which Reni became famous as well as emblematic of the entire painting culture of \u201cBaroque classicism\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSt. Peter Repenting
\nOil on canvas (62.5 x 48 cm)
\nMainetti Collection<\/p>\n

This intense depiction of St. Peter perfectly conveys the anguish and repentance of his remorse following his disownment of Christ, who had fallen into the hands of the Pharisees.\u00a0 The Bolognese master achieved his immense and much deserved fame thanks in part to his \u201cintrospective\u201d portraits, captured at moments of intense emotion, as occurs in this painting through the saint\u2019s imploring eyes wet with tears, which are turned directly to the Father.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe Infant Jesus sleeping on the Cross
\n<\/em><\/strong>Oil on canvas (76 x 64,5 cm)
\nMainetti Collection<\/p>\n

The image of the Infant Jesus sleeping on the Holy Cross with the Crown of Thorns and the Nails aside him is a referent to the love of God. It was probably inspired by a quote of the Cantico dei Cantici<\/em>. Reni thus created a sense of balance and beauty that would remain distinctive elements in his work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSt. Francis praying to the Crucifix
\n<\/em><\/strong>Oil on canvas (69 x 82.5 cm)
\nMainetti Collection<\/p>\n

In this painting the artist wanted to depict a young, newly converted Francis in the act of worshipping Christ. A divine light falls diagonally across him from behind a sort of initiation of his apostolic mission and the greatness to which he was destined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
