  Rai International - Italica - Carracci Annibale: Annibale Caracci
The work is a self-portrait, and the author, the man in the mirror - is Annibale Carracci, a hugely talented artist acclaimed by his contemporaries as the new Raphael and who even Caravaggio believed would go far.
The founder, together with his brother Agostino and his cousin Ludovico of the late 16th century "Accademia degli Incamminati", he seems to conceive of art as a "mirror of reality", capable of freezing it, of rendering eternal as only a "true mirror" can hope to.
And this led to the creation of the paintings "The butchers (La macelleria)" and "The bean eater (Il Mangiafagioli)", paintings with an overwhelmingly realistic power that reveal an unquenchable will to overcome the parochial confines of the customary, a considerable freedom of expression and an unrestrained love for all that is real.

  Annibale Carracci
In 1595, Annibale entered the service of Cardinal Odoardo Farnese in Rome, and it was he who was responsible for exporting to the first city of Christendom the Carracci's reformed style of painting, which Annibale continued to develop with reference to the canonical Roman models of an idealized ancient and Renaissance art.
Annibale, on the other hand, sought to give naturalistic verisimilitude to a perfected ideal that was deducible from experience, to represent not what is but what might be and what ought to be, and, in so doing, to inspire the viewer to virtue.

Family of Bolognese painters, the brothers Agostino (1557-1602) and Annibale (1560-1609) and their cousin Ludovico (1555-1619), who were prominent figures at the end of the 16th century in the movement against the prevailing Mannerist artificiality of Italian painting.
In this sense, Annibale exercised a more profound influence than his great contemporary Caravaggio, for the latter never worked in fresco, which was still regarded as the greatest test of a painter's ability and the most suitable vehicle for painting in the Grand Manner.
Annibale's art also had a less formal side that comes out in his caricatures (he is generally credited with inventing the form) and in his early genre paintings, which are remarkable for their lively observation and free handling (The Butcher's Shop, Christ Church, Oxford).

  Lodovico, Agostino Caracci - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Lodovico, the eldest, son of a butcher, was uncle to the two younger, Agostino and Annibale, sons of a tailor, and had nearly finished his professional studies before the others had begun their education.
From the affability and kindness of the Caracci, and their zeal for the scientific education of the students, their academy rose rapidly in popular estimation, and soon every other school of art in Bologna was deserted and closed.
The reputation of Annibale is tarnished by his jealousy and vindictiveness towards his brother, and the licentiousness of his disposition, which contributed to bring him to a comparatively early grave.

 Guido Reni - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Guido was still in the academy of Calvart when he began frequenting the opposition school kept by Lodovico Caracci, whose style, far in advance of that of the Flemish painter, he dallied with.
One day Annibale Caracci made the remark that a style might be formed reversing that of Caravaggio in such matters as the ponderous shadows and the gross common forms; this observation germinated in Guido's mind, and he endeavoured after some such style, aiming constantly at suavity.
In his temper there was a large amount of suspiciousness; and the jealousy which his abilities and his successes excited, now from the Caracci, now from Albani, now from the monopolizing league of Neapolitan painters, may naturally have kept this feeling in active exercise.

The turn of century, circa 1600, there was a certain manner (maniera) in which artists abandoned the imitation of antique statuary, as well as of nature, and founded their art wholly in imitation.
Annibale’s Dead Christ (1582) and Boy Dinking (1583-4) show his interest in the depiction of reality and interest in optical techniques to put us into a direct confrontation with the presence.
In Pieta, Annibale’s naturalism is more sharpened in precision and in effect of existential truth, and also the figures which are more controlled, intensify effects of truth into a beauty that derives from ideality.

Annibale, from his own Academy in Bologna, trained in the Classical tradition with an interest in antiquity and the Renaissance, decorated the Galleria Farnese ceiling in fresco, following the workshop model.
Annibale's erudite, naturalistic picture gallery ceiling, by referencing the Classics and even the Farnese collection of antique sculpture, provided a showcase for the Farnese family and paved the way for the great Baroque ceilings to come.
We compared Reni to Guercino, and Guercino's work to the style of Annibale Caracci, who used the former technique so that all of his paintings looked as if they were viewed from the front (as if standing before them) even though they may have been placed on the ceiling.

 Guido Reni
On one occasion Guido had made a copy of Annibale's "Descent from the Cross"; Annibale was asked to retouch it, and, finding nothing to do, exclaimed pettishly, "He knows more than enough" ("Costui ne sa troppo").
He had appropriated something from Calvart, much more from Lodovico Caracci; he studied with much zest after Albrecht Dürer; he adopted the massive, sombre and partly uncouth manner of Caravaggio.
One day Annibale Caracci made the remark that a style might be formed reversing that of Caravaggio in such matters as the ponderous shadows and the gross common forms; this observation germinated in Guido's mind, and he endeavored after some such style, aiming constantly at suavity.
