He was born in Rome, was employed by Gavin Hamilton to engrave some of the plates for his Schola Itálica; among these were the following: The Marriage of St. Catherine after Parmigianino; Meleager and Atalanta after Polidoro da Caravaggio; and Christ on the Mount of Olives after Giovanni Lanfranco.
Reni in this painting allies himself more with the sterner Cavaliere d'Arpino, Lanfranco, and Albani "School" of mytho-historic painting, and less with the more crowded frescoes characteristic of Pietro da Cortona.
He arrived in Rome by 1638, and entered the studio of Pietro da Cortona, supplementing his training by drawing from life and copying works of Giovanni Lanfranco and Andrea Sacchi.
The Italian school is represented with drawings by Pontormo, Guercino, Giovanni Lanfranco, Salvator Rosa and with twenty one Tuscan drawings from the 16th and early 17th centuries by Fra Angelico, Bartolommeo Bandinelli, Francesco Salviati, Baldassare Peruzzi, Il Sodoma and Giorgio Vasari.
To the left of the choir is the Cappella del Crocefisso (the Sacchetti family Chapel), which has wall and vault frescoes by Giovanni Lanfranco and a bronze crucifix created by Paul Sanquirico and made by Prospero Antichi.
Other works of art include works by Ventura Salimbeni, Eusebio da San Giorgio, Orazio Alfani, copies after Perugino, Girolamo Danti (sacristy, 1574), Giovanni Lanfranco, Mino da Fiesole (a marble with Young Jesus, St. John the Baptist and St. Hyeronimus, in the Vibi Chapel), a Jesus in the Orchard attributed to Guido Reni, two grand canvas by Giorgio Vasari, and a Pietà of Sebastiano dal Piombo's school.
