Guercino, remarkable for the extreme rapidity of his execution, completes no fewer than one hundred and six large altar-pieces for churches, and his other paintings amount to about 144.
He begins his frescoes in the Duomo of Piacenza in 1526.
Caravaggio's influence is manifest in Guercino’s canvas of Semiramis hearing of the insurrection at Babylon.
