Topic: Agostino Carracci


  
  Carracci
Agostino helped in the decoration of nearly every great palace in Bologna, and his poetic imagination was of great avail when with the matter-of- fact Annibale he assisted in the decoration of the Farnese Palace in Rome.
Agostino was a master of engraving: he introduced what is called "the large style", and the lines of his plates were broadly and boldly laid.
Agostino assisted him in this work but left before a year was over, either from Annibale's jealousy, as some assert, or because of the latter's quarrelsome disposition.

CARRACCI [Carracci], family of Italian painters of the Bolognese school, founders of an important academy of painting.
Lodovico Carracci, 1555-1619, a pupil of Tintoretto in Venice, was influenced by Correggio and Titian.
With his cousins, Agostino and Annibale, and with Anthony de la Tour, he established in Bologna an academy of painting that sought to unite in one system the preeminent characteristics of each of the great masters.

Family of Bolognese painters, the brothers Agostino (1557-1602) and Annibale (1560-1609) and their cousin Lodovico (1555-1619), who were prominent figures at the end of the 16th century in the movement against the prevailing Mannerist artificiality of Italian painting.
Agostino assisted Annibale in the Farnese Gallery from 1597 to 1600, but he was important mainly as a teacher and engraver.
Their full rehabilitation had to wait until the second half of the 20th century (the great Carracci exhibition held in Bologna in 1956 was a notable event), but Annibale has now regained his place as one of the giants of Italian painting.

 Art and the Viewer in 17th Century Italy by Raichel Le Goff
Agostino's contribution to the formation of the Carracci academic method, and its relationship to the broader academic movement.
Agostino entered the workshop of Prospero Fontana, but is reported as being a difficult student, and he was removed to the studio of the engraver and architect, Domenico Tebaldi.
Agostino also taught his students how light and shade could be used as the foundation of perfect illusion by taking them to study the Jupiter fresco in the Palazzo Fava - which was painted in chiarascuro with such illusionary effect that it appeared not painting, but sculpture.

 AGOSTINO CARRACCI Omnia Vincit Amor, oil on copper - by Raichel le Goff
This late painting of Agostino’s is a fine example of the Carracci’s “ideal” landscape style in the years around his arrival in Rome, where he began to work in Palazzo Farnese circa 1598.
Agostino’s invention and subtleties of execution so evident in Omnia vincit Amor are easier to observe in the actual cartoons for the frescoes.
Agostino’s cartoons for the ceiling were the subject of a recent conservation treatment and a major exhibition at London’s National Gallery (1995-96).

Agostino's manner of engraving owed much to Cort's example, but it does not seem that Barocci sought out Agostino to take the place of Cort, who had died some years earlier.
Agostino's biographer Malvasia tells us that Agostino created this engraving "for study, and to please himself." Agostino succeeded in pleasing himself but did not please Barocci, to whom he sent two impressions of the engraving and received a rather nasty letter in return.
Yet Agostino did not imitate the subtly flowing and dissolving network of swelling lines that Goltzius had used to blur contours and blend tones in that work, but rather the emphatic and exaggerated burin line that Goltzius had earlier applied to heroic subjects and Roman statues

 What is Art? What is an Artist? Drawing by Agostino Carracci
Agostino Carracci is associated with his theoretical ideas of art.
Carracci was a well educated man, with a wealth of knowledge in philosophy, astronomy, natural sciences, history, and poetry.
Due to Carracci's fascination of anatomy, the details of the anatomical structure are very precise, and true to human form.

 Annibale Carracci, cat. 1 - NGA
The questions of attribution that have surrounded the painting are reflected also in the history of the drawing, which was first published as the work of Agostino Carracci.
Even the Bassano family, active in Venice and known to Agostino, customarily justified the subjects of daily life in their paintings (kitchens, marketplaces, etc.) by including episodes from sacred stories.
Contrary to Robertson's view (Oxford and London 1996-1997), it seems to me that the very existence of these variants between the drawings and the painting voids the theory that the butchers at work in the painting are the Carracci themselves and that the painting is an allegory of the Accademia degli Incamminati (Martin 1963).

 Agostino Carracci - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The post-Tridentine (Council of Trent) environment encouraged religious, though particularly secular, art.
In this more religious and closed atmosphere, Agostino profited from the making of engravings of graphic and explicit sexual images of mythologic or heroic love-making scenes.
