Guido Reni Retrospective at the Prado Museum in Madrid
A retrospective dedicated to Guido Reni (Bologna, 1575–1642) is currently on display at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, in partnership with the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, and will continue until July 9, 2023. Curated by David García Cueto, the exhibition showcases approximately 100 pieces from 40 different institutions, with 22 originating from Italy. Director Miguel Falomir has referred to it as "an unrepeatable exhibition," featuring over 70 paintings, including "La Vergine della Sedia" and "San Sebastiano." Significant loans such as "Il trionfo di Giobbe" and "La strage degli innocenti" are also part of the collection. An illustrated catalog nearing 500 pages accompanies the show, and an international congress titled "Guido Reni: nuovi studi scientifici" is scheduled for June 15–16 in Madrid.
