Reni (English spelling) Guido Reni

Japanese: レーニ - れーに(英語表記)Guido Reni
Reni (English spelling) Guido Reni

A painter of the Bolognese School in Italy. He first studied at the art school of Denis Calvert (Dionisio Fiamingo) from Flanders, but around 1595 he moved to the art school of R. Carracci, where he broke away from Calvert's late Mannerist influence. In 1601 he visited Rome with Francesco Albano, where he learned not only Carracci's classicism, but also Caravaggio's dramatic expression of light and shadow. However, after visiting Rome again in 1607, he broke away from Caravaggio's influence and strengthened his classical character. In Rome, he was given many artistic opportunities by Cardinal Scipione Borghese. His Aurora (1613-14, now Palazzo Pallavicini Rospigliosi), which decorates the ceiling of the cardinal's Casino (villa), is one of the masterpieces of this period. Shortly after completing this work, he returned to Bologna, and from then on, apart from short visits to Naples in 1922 and Rome in 1925, he spent most of his time in Bologna and dominated the local school of painting.

イタリア、ボローニャ派の画家。最初フランドル出身のデニス・カルバールト(ディオニジオ・フィアミンゴ)の画塾で学んだが、1595年ごろR・カラッチの画塾に移り、カルバールトの後期マニエリスム的影響を脱した。1601年フランチェスコ・アルバーノとともにローマを訪れ、カラッチの古典主義に加えて、カラバッジョの劇的な光と影の表現を学んだ。しかし、07年ローマ再訪後はカラバッジョの影響も脱して、いっそう古典主義的性格を強めていく。ローマでは枢機卿(すうききょう)シピオーネ・ボルゲーゼによって多くの芸術的機会が与えられた。同枢機卿のカジーノ(別邸)の天井を飾る『アウローラ』(1613~14、現パラビチーニ・ロスピリオージ邸)はこの時期の傑作の一つ。この作品の完成後まもなくボローニャに帰り、以後、22年のナポリ、25年のローマ訪問など、短期間の中断を除けば、ほとんどボローニャにあって、同地の画派に君臨した。
