Abstract:
The intention of this thesis is to produce an account of the workshop practices of the
seventeenth-century Bolognese painter, Guido Reni. Reni was a painter of great
eminence in seicento Italy; a contemporary and competitor of the now more famous
Caravaggio and the leading painter of the century in his hometown of Bologna. He ran
a notably large workshop in the Via della Pescherie, Bologna, where his output in the
first half of the seventeenth century was evidently high. In the creation of an account
of Reni’s techniques and workshop, this thesis combines information from a number
of sources, including seventeenth-century texts, scientific reports made by
conservation departments, visual analysis of paintings, and modern scholarship. By
consulting, analysing, criticising and combining these sources, certain conclusions
have been drawn regarding Reni’s working methods.
