"Although he never adapted to the radical changes brought about in Roman painting by his former student Caravaggio and by the Carracci and their followers, Cesari continued to receive significant commissions until his death in 1640.  Cesari had no followers as such, yet his art was of importance for a number of his contemporaries.  Both Caravaggio and Andrea Sacchi studied with him at the beginning of their careers and continued to express admiration and respect for him.  He was instrumental in Guido Reni's initial success in Rome and influenced the younger Bolognese painter's style, at least for a time.  Adam Elsheimer probably studied Cesari's small cabinet pictures, and Paul Brill was said to have benefited from studying the treatment of landscape in his paintings."
