## Commentary

This compelling portrait of Monsignor Giovanni Battista Agucchi \(1570-1632\), secretary to Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini, records the man whose friendship with the Bolognese painters, particularly those in Rome, moulded the character of Baroque painting from his time onwards. Recently in the York Art Gallery the painting was assigned to Annibale Carracci.
