In this article we will talk about one of the most talented, but almost forgotten artists: Guido Reni (Guido Reni). @Ndashто in his paintings draws the viewer"s attention at first sight. Reni was born in 1575 in Bologna, Italy. Because he was the son of Danieli Reni, a musician, he was required to follow in the footsteps of his father.
But the passion and talent of Guido for painting led him on a different path. He began to study art under the guidance of Denis Calvert. Soon after, he continued his art education at the Carracci Academy where the emphasis was on landscape painting. Unfortunately, examples of this period of his life very little.
In 1601 he moved to Rome, though occasionally went to Bologna. One of the known details of his life from that period is that he was at the funeral of Agostino Carracci. Guido remained in Rome for 15 years, where he focused on style Rafael and also copy classical sculpture. In addition, he was influenced by Caravaggio. We can see it in his picture of" The crucifixion of Saint Peter".
In her use of light and shade, no doubt written under the influence of the Baroque style of Caravaggio. However, from that moment Renee begins to write in their own unique style, which gave him more opportunities.
One of the most important works in their own style has become a L'Aurora in the Palazzo Паллавичини-Роспильози.
This beautiful mural is a depiction of the goddess of the dawn, when she leads the Golden Quadriga of Apollo. We can see how the light appears when there is the Aurora. They are accompanied by Phosphorus, winged child, like Cupid, but that"s not Cupid. He is the Morning Star. In addition, there is a clock, the female figure, dancing next to the chariot. They are designed to indicate the passage of time. Renee draws all pieces are flawless, they have grace, they"re perfect. This is an incredible example of Baroque classicism. Unfortunately, a great fresco by Guido Reni is lost among the beautiful paintings of other artists. It was commissioned in 1614 the Roman cardinal Scipione Borghese.
the peak of his career the artist has achieved, when he returned to Bologna, where he wrote some of his best paintings. By the time he was under the influence of the works of Rubens, Gentileschi, Albani; but also he influenced many others such as Bernini.
His Melanion and Atalanta @- one of his most famous works when-либо unwritten them. It tells the mythical story of Atalanta, a woman who promised that he will not marry someone who will not win her the race. Clever, because she was a fantastic runner. Reni depicted the moment when Hippoman outsmarted her by throwing three Golden apples. Atalanta, distracted by the apples and lost the race. And again, both look perfect, but is particularly impressive drapery, blown by the wind?
Salome
Caught" удачу tail", he continued to portray women, some of his major works @- Cleopatra, Lucretia, Mary Magdalene, Europe and, especially, he was able Salome, pay attention to her face! These paintings were widely popular-за their peace of mind, even when their subjects ceased to be in demand.
