He painted primarily religious works, but also mythological and allegorical subjects. Active in Rome, Naples, and his native Bologna, he became the dominant figure in the Bolognese School that emerged under the influence of the Carracci.

Reinier van Persijn (Alkmaar 1615 - 1668 Gouda) - was a Dutch Golden Age engraver of portraits and bookplates.
