Abstract Guercino’s fresco of Aurorain the Casino Ludovisi in Rome depicts the charioteer Dawn ushering in a virile Day to dispel the furtive Night. Guercino’s Dawn,commissioned by the cardinal nephew of the newly elected Pope Gregory XV (1621-3), celebrates the beginning of his Bolognese compatriot Alessandro Ludovisi’s pontificate as a new golden age, while it marked the high point of baroque painting among the Bolognese school in Rome-Annibale Carracci, Guido Reni, Francesco Albani, Lanfranco, Domenichino, as well as the young Guercino himself. Dawn, boldly streaking across the sky above the pope’s casa,a house in the sense both of family and of property where social relationships and power politics were one, chases away the darkndess.
