A very interesting and informative book
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. My review may be found in "Art History" vol. 21, no. 3 (September 1998), 445-48. In the reiew I mention: "It offers the first extensive twentieth century analysis of Reni's personality and environment. Spear's relatively non-reductive research methodology is an interesting shift of study 'from the "outside" to the "inside"' of the subject (Spear p. 9). This method is used in addition to the standard revisionist focus on the artist from his/her own time, rather than from our time. 'The "Divine" Guido' is a welcome addition to the new historicist studies from publishers such as Yale University, Cambridge University, Prentice Hall and Thames & Hudson." ... Read more

An excellent catalog of the work of Guido Reni
I know the italian edition, that I think is more complete than the english one, it has an excellent catalog about the work of Guido, including some old copies, attributions and new discoveries. It has also some very good color reproductions of the pictures, with most of them in black and white. It has also a list of the places where the paintings are exhibited, and the history and previous owners of most of them. Dr. Stephen Pepper is one of the best speciallists in Italian picture of the XVII century and his work is most important for somebody interested in Guido Reni and in Italian Painting ... Read more
