This event comes from the Palazzo Reale in Milan, where the Italian painter Guercino has had an exceptional success and that is very different from the artistic critic of 1930; in fact, the critics of art were very sceptical towards the paintings of Guercino, new, however, this artist is loved for her artistic qualities and for her versatility. There are two moments of the artistic life of Guercino: the first step is her studies in Bologna, near the Caracci's school with a painting links to the orthodoxy rules of the Counter-Reformation; the second phase(1621-1623) is a moment links to: the magnificence and the traditions of Rome, the baroque court of the Pope in which Guercino changes the colours of her works.
