Together with his brother Agostino and nephew Lodovico, Annibale Carracci implemented artistic reforms in Italy based on close observation of the natural world. Annibale's innovative and highly influential style balanced between the smooth artificiality of Mannerism - in which style and technique took precedence over fidelity to nature - and the heightened drama of Caravaggio's paintings. In this remarkable early work, the coarse surface of the canvas, inelegant subject matter and the striking distortion of forms by light falling through glass all speak to his naturalistic approach.
Annibale Carracci (Bologna, 3 November 1560 - Rome, 15 July 1609) was an Italian painter and engraver. In Bologna, with his cousin Ludovico and brother Agostino, he opened the Eclectic School or the "School of Carracci". He was one of the founders of the art movement that became known as the Bolognese School.
Annibale Carracci's works belong to the Baroque, although there is interweaving with classicist elements.
