St. Matthew and the Angel by Guido Reni

The Bolognese School, to which Bologna native Guido Reni belonged, was highly influential in the development of the Baroque style of painting, both in Italy and throughout Europe. Guido Reni's work was inspired by both his contemporaries, as we can see in the use of Caravaggio's chiaroscuro in Guido Reni's depiction of St. Matthew (a scene Caravaggio had painted a version of in 1602), and by Renaissance masters such as Raphael, whom he greatly admired.
