Philosophy (1774). Louis Jean Francoise Lagrenée (French, 1724-1805). Oil on canvas.As a student at the French Academy in Rome, Lagrenée developed a “formative if youthful fixation with Baroque painting.” Above all, Lagrenée was inspired by the Bolognese School , particularly by the work of Guido Reni (1575-1642) and Francesco Albani (1578-1660). Later in his career, Lagrenée acquired the epithet ‘the French Albani’ (l'Albane Francais). -- source link
