Portrait of Annibale Carracci

About

Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome. Along with his brother Agostino and cousin Ludovico, Annibale was one of the progenitors, if not founders of a leading strand of the Baroque style, borrowing from styles from both north and south of their native city, and aspiring for a return to classical monumentality, but adding a more vital dynamism. Painters working under Annibale at the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese would be highly influential in Roman painting for decades.
