Annibale Caracci

Annibale Carracci, in French Annibale Carracci, born in Bologna in 1560 and died in Rome in 1609, is an Italian painter. Generally working with his brother Agostino and his cousin Lodovico, he enjoyed great fame during his lifetime. Along with Caravaggio, to whom he was opposed from the 17th century, he is considered the renovator of Italian painting at the end of the 16th century. Like him, he indeed used a different style to apply the principles of the Council of Trent and to free himself from dying mannerism. It gave birth to a new classical and naturalistic conception of painting, definitively tilting this art into classicism, which became one of the major orientations of painting in the 17th century.
