Anyone who thinks art reputations, once made, are imperishable, should think again -- about Guido Reni (1575-1642). The retrospective show of 51 of his paintings is on view through May 14 at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, having been seen in Bologna (in a larger form) and Los Angeles. Reni was the leading Bolognese artist of the 17th century. For nearly 200 years after his death, he was adored by a long line of connoisseurs and tourists who held him to have been angelically inspired, the greatest painter of his age: as famous...

He wrote part of the best seller in a 50-room country retreat near Urbino that he bought and restored himself and where he spends his leisure hours expanding his 40,000-volume collection of antique books...

His address is a room at the Houstonian Hotel. Recently, Texan Democrats had bologna sandwiches in his hotel room, because its bologna that he is from Texas...
