1637 – 1688

Painter, part of an Italian family of painters. The family, which originated in Cento, comprised Benedetto Gennari I (1563-1658); his two sons Ercole Gennari (1597-1658) and Bartolommeo Gennari (1594-1661), who married Lucia, the sister of Guercino; Lorenzo Gennari (1595-1665/72), who was descended from another branch of the family; and Ercole's two sons, Cesare Gennari (1637-88) and Benedetto Gennari II. These artists were closely associated with Guercino, and their work, with the exception of that of Benedetto II, has been difficult to identify among the many paintings from Guercino's studio.Show more
