"After a brief Florentine phase in his early youth, Alessandro Tiarini returned to Bologna, where he soon developed a characteristic style of his own. . . . Since he was hardly impeded by theoretical considerations, little is to be found here of the classicism practised at this moment by his compatriots in Rome. While the solidity of his figures and their studied gestures reveal his education in the Carracci school, his 'painterly' approach to his subject proves him a close follower of Lodovico. . . . During the next years he intensified this manner in impressive gravity. . . . According to Malvasia, he was deeply impressed by Caravaggio, and a version of the latter's Incredulity of St. Thomas, at the time in Bologna, was gleefully copied by him. In the twenties Tiarini uses a lighter range of colours; his style becomes more rhetorical and less intense, and simultaneously an interest in Veronese and Pordenone is noticeable. His latest work, under the influence of Domenichino and above all Reni, hardly bear testimony to his promising beginnings."
