Guercino (Born 1591, Died 1666) was born in Cento, a small porticoed town between the cities of Bologna and Ferrara in Emilia-Romagna, a town that is now internationally famous for its annual Carnevale in late February and early March; indeed, the Carnevale di Cento was the subject of one of Guercino’s earliest frescoes in 1615.
The artist achieved widespread fame during his lifetime such that he attracted the refined attention of the English king Charles I and Marie de’ Medici of France and spent time working in Rome for Popes Gregory XV and Urban VIII. After the death of Guido Reni in 1642, Guercino became the prime mover of the Bolognese school of painting until his death in 1666.
