Guido Reni trained with Denys Calvaert and then probably in the Carracci workshop. From 1602 to 1613 he worked in Rome, where he painted the ceiling fresco Aurora for Cardinal Scipione Borghese and is said to have quarreled with Caravaggio. Back in Bologna, he ran a busy studio that took commissions from many Italian cities.
