Amongst artists The Magdalene inspired fascination as an image of an outsider. Here’s Reni’s images of the former prostitute seeking spiritual enlightenment from the 1630s. They reflect an artist apparently struggling with the church’s teachings on sexuality

Reni’s religious images, which would later come to define him, included the Resurrected Christ, based on a Michelangelo sculpture (1621), the Baptism of Christ (1623) & Moses (1624). Numerous minor artists based their work on them & they have lost their impact

Reni’s commission to paint the Crucifixion of St Peter (1604-5) as well as his frescoes at the Casino dell’Aurora (1614-16) established his reputation as one of the greatest artists working in Rome at the time. His Aurora (1614) was one of the most influential works among artists

His success was finally achieved by being an artist for the Borghese family (1607-14). An early masterpiece is Atalanta & Hippomenes (1612). Also shown is Hercules (1617-19) & the sensually provocative St Sebastian (1617-18)

As a student he banded together with Albani & Domenichino in Bologna & they joined with the Carracci to descend on Rome (by 1601) where he worked on decorating the Farnese Palace. Here’s an early drawing of his, Cleopatra & Coronation of the Virgin (both c1595)

He became the drawing master to the children of the Duke of Orléans in 1822. This royal connection led to a greater demand for his work & he became fashionable. Greek Women (1826), Souliote Women (1827) & Charlotte Rothschild (1827-8)

Waterhouse falls into the category of a beloved artist who ranks with many as their favourite painter. However, unlike Schiele or Van Gogh, he did not approach his subject matter with authentic emotion. It would be interesting to know why that was

Waterhouse followed the dictum of art for art’s sake & his ability & mood setting make one yearn for him to have approached subject matter that was authentic (like Klimt or Schiele, for instance). A Tale from the Decameron (1916), Miranda (1916) & Tristan & Isolde (1916)

One of my favourite pictures by him is of the Mystic Wood where he captured a twilight forest exquisitely. The Mystic Wood (1914-17), Flower Study (1915-16) & I Am Half Sick of Shadows, Said the Lady of Shalott (1915)
