La fortuna visiva dei dipinti di Guercino nella Villa Ludovisi

The essay traces the history of the visual fortune of Guercino’s paintings at the Casino Ludovisi through his printed reproductions. A visual fortune not so extensive, given the small number of engravings and series of prints derived from the paintings. From the first known engraving, made in 1621 by Giovan Battista Pasqualini, we need to wait ­until the second half of the 18th century to see the wall paintings reproduced again, by authors of the stature of Fragonard, Giovanni Volpato and Carlo Lasinio, and by the lesser-known Francesco Pozzi.
