‘Just as the first decade tended to be dominated by the Caravaggist painters, the second decade in Rome was the heyday of the Bolognese Classicist painters headed by Guido Reni (see Plate 13),* Domenichino, and Francesco Albani, all of whom had been pupils of the Caracci.** All the works so far mentioned belong to that first phase of the Baroque known as the early Baroque, and the crucial developments that brought the High Baroque into being took place in the third decade.’
