    Reni signature
    I asked a question about Guido Reni in my previous post but forgot to ask if the signature on the lower corner of the picture resembled that of Reni.

    Is there such a thing as a catalogue of artist signatures- especially the old ones?

    Possibly in a major art gallery or museum. I don't think you could access this on line though. You would have to do some research and foot work.

    What you have is not a painting but an etching of a Guido Reni paintinting of Mary Magdalene. These were d after the original painting was painted and copied off metal plates in bulk... perhaps a few hundred.. your etching is probably worth $2,000 and is from the mid 1800s... the original painting was painted in the 1630s.
