Guercino
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (February 8, 1591 – December 22, 1666), best known as Guercino,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beside the easel )〕 or Il Guercino (:ɡwerˈtʃiːno), was an Italian Baroque painter and draftsman from the region of Emilia, and active in Rome and Bologna. The vigorous naturalism of his early manner is in contrast to the classical equilibrium of his later works. His many drawings are noted for their luminosity and lively style.
==Biography==
He was born in Cento, a village between Bologna and Ferrara. At an early age he acquired the nickname Guercino (Italian for 'squinter') because he was cross-eyed. Mainly self-taught, at the age of 16, he worked as apprentice in the shop of Benedetto Gennari, a painter of the Bolognese School.〔Griswold 1991, p. 6〕 By 1615, he moved to Bologna, where his work was praised by Ludovico Carracci. Guercino painted two large canvases, ''Elijah Fed by Ravens'' and ''Samson Seized by Philistines'', for Cardinal Serra, a Papal Legate to Ferrara. These paintings have a stark naturalist Caravaggesque style, although it is unlikely that Guercino saw any of the Roman Caravaggios first-hand.
''The Arcadian Shepherds (Et in Arcadia ego)'' was painted in 1618 at the same time of ''The Flaying of Marsyas by Apollo'' in Palazzo Pitti. Its dramatic composition is typical of Guercino's early works, which are often tumultuous.〔Griswold 1991, p. 13〕 He often claimed that his early style was influenced by a canvas of Ludovico Carracci that he saw in the Capuchin church in Cento. Some of his later works are closer to the style of his contemporary Guido Reni, and are painted with more lightness and clearness.
