- cifixion of St. Peter, he coupled it with the
command that it should be in the manner of that painter. Guido obeyed, but he gave his composition a grandeur and dignity beyond the powers of Caravaggio. Paul V. employed him to decorate the private chapel in the Palace of Monte Cavallo, a work which gained him great reputation and made him many enemies, even his friend Albani becoming inimical when he found that Guido's fame was likely to exceed his own. After an absence in Rome of twenty years, Guido returned to Bologna, where he painted the Massacre of the Innocents for S. Domenico, now in the Bologna Gallery, and St. Paul reproving St. Peter, for the Palazzo Zampieri, now in the Brera, Milan. Paul V. soon induced him to return to Rome, where he executed works in S. M. Maggiore and other public buildings, his most famous one being the fresco Aurora, in the pavilion of the Palazzo Rospigliosi. Guido's productions vary much in manner according to the time of their execution, and may be assigned to three different periods: The first, marked by strong contrasts of light and shade; the second or transition period, stronger and more natural; the third, pale-gray tones and insipid sentiment.
