About Alessandro Tiarini

  • Biography

    Alessandro Tiarini was born in Bologna in 1577 and trained with Prospero Fontana, the father of his godmother Lavinia Fontana. Tiarini's artwork is characterized by a sense of monumentality and large figures with bold, forceful gestures. His style contrasted with the smooth, classical typologies popularized by his contemporary Guido Reni. During this phase of his career, the early-1620s or mid-1620s, Tiarini combined the coherent plasticity of Passignano and other Tuscan reformers with the rich luminism and dramatic clarity found in Ludovico Carracci's best works.
