Who is the intriguing man wearing a religious habit and a gold hoop earring in this
portrait by Italian Baroque master II Guercino? And why does he point to a stack of
drawings? This fascinating book investigates the Ringling's portrait of Fra Bonaventura
bisi, a Franciscan Minor Conventual friar whose work as an art dealer, printmaker,
and celebrated painter of miniatures made him a major figure in the artistic culture
of seventeenth-century Bologna. Beautifully illustrated, this volume offers new scholarship
on both Guercino's portrait and Fra Bisi's life, including his extraordinary miniatures,
his dogged pursuit of artworks for high-ranking collectors, his passionate efforts
to promote the appreciation and collecting of drawings, and not least his incongruous
gold hoop earring. Published to accompany an important exhibition at The Ringling,
this book, based on years of research, provides a captivating glimpse into art making
and art collecting in Baroque Italy
