Called the "Rembrandt of the South," Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, il
Guercino (1591-1666) was one of the most versatile and accomplished
Italian draftsmen of the seventeenth century. His drawings are among the
most instantly appealing of those of any artist. This book investigates
the nature of this appeal and looks at what makes Guercino such an
extraordinary draftsman for his period. It examines his ways of working,
choices of subject matter, drawing techniques, and media--aspects of
his work that have never been studied so directly before. Such an
innovative approach yields scholarly insights, as well as an accessible
and appealing volume. The book accompanies an exhibition of Guercino
drawings from the collections of the Courtauld Institute and the J. Paul
Getty Museum, on view at both venues
