　　First Monographic Exhibition of Works by Guercino Opens in Switzerland

　　BERN.- Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), who came from Cento near Bologna and was called "Il Guercino", is one of the most important artists of the Italian Baroque era. In the course of his career as an artist, Guercino moved from a dramatic early oeuvre in which a striking chiaroscuro prevailed to the classically serene style of his mature period. His art is therefore a unique combination of the two poles between which Baroque painting in Italy hovered.

　　The Uffizi houses one of the world's largest and most important collections of drawings by Guercino. The exhibition in Bern comprises a selection of 50 sheets from all periods of his oeuvre and all genres - figure and compositional studies, landscape and genre scenes - and 42 drawings by his workshop staff and successors. In addition to many well-known masterpieces the exhibition also includes numerous sheets that have as yet never been published or shown.
