[edit] Life
He posited the ideal in nature, and was the founder of the competing school to the more gritty (for lack of a better term) view of nature as expressed by Caravaggio. He was, along with his brothers, one of the founders of the Academia degli Incamminati, which helped propel painters of the School of Bologna to prominence.
