Giovanni Francesco Barbieri aka Guercino (1591-1666), St. John Baptist at his Well (1661).

Influenced by Caravaggio in his early years, Guercino was later influenced by Ludovico Carracci and Guido Reni. What is noteworthy is the rapidity of his execution and the number of paintings he produced in his lifetime, many of them were large in scale.
