Guido Reni (1575-1642) was a contemporary of Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). Reni, a musician’s son, studied music in addition to art. Both were born in Northern Italy (Reni in Bologna, Monteverdi in Cremona), both were well aquainted with the refinement of the Italian courts of the time, and both lived in major cities (the former in Rome, the latter in Venice) that provided them with work and fame. Neither the subject (who may be Beatrice Cenci) nor the painter (believed to be Guido Reni) of this delicate portrait, which is housed in The National Gallery of Ancient Art in Rome, have been identified with certainty.
