Lorenzo Franchi (Bologna, c. 1563 - c. 1630) was an Italian painter, active in a late-Mannerist or early-Baroque style mainly in Reggio Emilia.
He trained under Camillo Procaccini, and traveled with him to Reggio Emilia. Over time, his style came to resemble the work of Annibale and Ludovico Carracci. He painted for the church of San Prospero in Reggio and in the residence of the Signore Giovanni Casotti. He also painted a Seated Virgin and Child, and St. John the Baptist for the Church of San Tommaso; a St Ursula for the church of San Zenone; and frescoed the Chapel of the Most Holy Rosary in San Domenico.
Outside Reggio, his work can be found at San Pellegrino outside of Porta Castello. He also painted many procession banners, a field in which he competed with Sisto Badalocchio. When his brother died in Bologna, his nieces and nephews were left without support, and Franchi relocated to Bologna. There he found heavy competition, and so returned to Reggio, where he painted a Virgin of the Annuciation with a choir of angels for the church of Santi Giacomo e Filippo. [1]

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as (il) Guercino, was an Italian Baroque painter and draftsman from Cento in the Emilia region, who was active in Rome and Bologna.

Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome. Along with his brother and cousin, Annibale was one of the progenitors, if not founders of a leading strand of the Baroque style, borrowing from styles from both north and south of their native city, and aspiring for a return to classical monumentality, but adding a more vital dynamism. Painters working under Annibale at the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese would be highly influential in Roman painting for decades.
