The 1640s saw a loosening of Reni’s brushwork & a more spiritual tone to his work where expression is heightened to the divine. Blessed Soul (1640-2) combines metaphysics, male nudity & emotion. Lucretia (1640-2) & Cleopatra (1640) show strong women in charge

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 really came into his own when painting mythological subjects. These allowed him greater emotional involvement than the religious images which paid the rent. Pictured is the beautiful Bacchus & Ariadne (1619-20), Deianiras (1617-19) & Apollo & Marsyas (c1620-5)

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
