Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (8 February 1591 – 22 December 1666), better known as (il) Guercino was an Italian Baroque painter and draftsman from Cento in the Emilia region, who was active in Rome and Bologna. The vigorous naturalism of his early manner contrasts with the classical equilibrium of his later works. His many drawings are noted for their luminosity and lively style.
