  Carracci
The son of Antonio Carracci, a tailor, he was nephew of Lodovico and brother of Annibale.
Slow, plodding, but determined, the young Lodovico was advised by his masters, Fontana and Tintoretto, to abandon his chosen career of art, and his fellow-students jeered him, calling him "the ox" on account of his physical and mental characteristics.
Lodovico's paintings are pleasing in colour, and exhibit much intelligence and technical skill, but lack spontaneity, originality, and individuality.

 ARC :: Lodovico Carracci (1555-1619) :: Page 1 of 1
Lodovico, the eldest, son of a butcher, was uncle to the two younger, Agostino and Annibale.
From the affability and kindness of the Carracci, 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.
Lodovico always remained at his academy in Bologna (excepting for a short visit to his cousin at Rome), though invited to execute paintings in all parts of the country.

 Biography
The Carracci was a 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.
They worked together early in their careers, and it is not easy to distinguish their shares in, for example, the cycle of frescos in the Palazzo Fava in Bologna (c.1583-84).
He nevertheless has to be recognized as the first painter systematically to abandon the late Mannerist style in favour of a new kind of moral and devotional style of painting.

Lodovico was older than his cousins, the brothers Annibale and Agostino Carracci, and he may have led the way in their quest to shift painting away from Mannerism's artifice.
The least classical of the three, Lodovico's own influence on the younger generation was significant.
The mystery of Lodovico's devotional works and the aristocratic sentiment of his portraits were unmatched by either cousin.

 Studio Escalier - Mission
As the Carracci did before us, we draw upon the recognized, brilliant artistic achievements of our professional grandfathers as the basis for a new visual study of nature, a new definition of the classical ethos, and a new proposition of what is beautiful, natural and essential to the study, art and practice of painting.
The Carracci, who were the first "school of the eclectics", were the direct heirs to and pulled equally upon four schools of thought, represented by Michelangelo, Raphael, Correggio and Titian.
They revived the studious, naturalist, classically imaginative spirit of the Renaissance, re-grounded and deepened the lust for life and intellectual territory of their forebears, and built the foundation of both the Baroque academies and the art of the Enlightenment.

— Lamentation over Christ (1606, 93x103cm) _ In this Lamentation, a late work executed in 1606, Carracci has achieved a degree of monumentality in his narration of an episode from the Passion of Christ that certainly bears comparison with Caravaggio's Entombment in the Vatican.

Among their many pupils were three younger members of the Carracci family.
The other two, Ludovico’s younger brother Paolo Carracci (1568–1625) and Francesco or Franceschino Carracci (1595–1622), the son of Agostino’s and Annibale’s brother Giovanni Antonio Carracci, were mediocre talents who produced no works of importance to the history of art.

The son of Lucia Boschetti and Francesco Balestra, a wealthy merchant, he studied literature, rhetoric and the humanities, but, after lessons in drawing and perspective with Giovanni Zeffis [–1688] and one Monsignor Bianchini [1646—1724], he moved to Venice in 1687 and trained with Antonio Bellucci.
In 1691 he transferred to Rome, where he studied under Carlo Maratta [1625-1713], whose art continued a classical tradition that can be traced back to Raphael [1483-1520], and where he also absorbed the work of Annibale Carracci [03 Nov 1560 – 15 Jul 1609] and Domenichino [21 Oct 1581 – 06 Apr 1641].
This was later renamed "Academia degli Incamminati" (of those who are on the way [to Progress]) but later still was known simply as the Carracci Academy.
