GUERCINO, IL, born at Cento, Feb. 8, 1591, died in Bologna, Dec. 22, 1666. Bolognese school. Real name Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, but called Guercino because he squinted. Son of a peasant and mostly self-taught, but studied the works of the Carracci; afterward studied under Benedetto Gennari and later in Venice and Bologna. Went to Rome in 1621, returned to Cento in 1623, and in 1642 established himself in Bologna. His house in Cento, Casa di Guercino, contains many of his works; others are in the Church del Rosario. His statue by Galletti is in the Piazza. Guercino painted at first in the manner of the Carracci, but after-*ward inclined to imitate Caravaggio, and a few of his latest works approach the manner of Guido; but he is very unequal, and some of his pictures are crude and marked by an insipid mannerism. His masterpiece is St. Petronilla raised from the Tomb, Capitoline Gallery, Rome.
