Lorenzo LOLI (Bologna 1612 – 1691)

Although he is better known as engraver instead of painter, Loli was scholar of Guido Reni and he followed his master’s style in the choice of his subjects. Moreover, the way they worked their etchings was really peculiar: the stroke was clean and precise, perfectly calibrated, and really suitable for his classicist compositions. His graphic repertoire is actually wide; Bartsch catalogues twenty-five works, underlining in some cases the unperfect mordant of the plate. His subjects were taken from Reni’s production and that of his scholars, especially from Giovanni Andrea Sirani.
Although Loli’s production was mainly the result of imitation, this testifies the great importance that Reni’s style had in Bologna in the XVII century and it also act as an intermediary for its circulation.
