"Guercino certainly worked with helpers from the very start, for instance on large-scale decorative projects in Cento. . . . Those pupils who worked with him at the Casa Pannini formed the embryo of the flourishing workshop that he established in Cento on his return from Rome in 1623. Among them were Lorenzo and Bartolomeo Gennari [sons of Guercino's early teacher in Cento, Benedetto Gennari the Elder, who had died in 1610], along with unnamed workmen to carry out the menial tasks."
