Guido Reni
A 1903 Boston picture-book from Bates and Guild reproducing the paintings of the Bolognese painter Guido Reni (1575-1642), issued for American art students and general readers. The plates are halftone photographs of oil paintings in deep grey tonal ranges: saints and martyrs with upturned faces, a bound Saint Sebastian pierced by arrows, Aurora's horses driving through cloud, and the turbaned girl known as Beatrice Cenci, usable for soft-edged figure studies, drapery, and dark-ground portrait vignettes.
