This prolific forger flooded the market with hundreds of drawings imitating the graphic style of the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino. The forger favoured landscapes, and, unlike Guercino, restricted himself to working in just pen and ink.
Prints after drawings by Guercino circulated widely after the artist’s death. Il Falsario used these prints as the model for his linear style, and copied some of them directly, while also creating his own pastiches and wholly invented scenes in the style of the earlier master.
