Ludovico Carracci, in assenza dei cugini Annibale e Agostino, può essere considerato un'innovazione.
Since Ludovico Carracci's work is rooted in Bologna, a visit to the Carracci places in the historic center of the Emilian capital to see his art "at home" is a unique way to visit this magnificent city, this writer's favorite in Italy.
From the Pinacoteca Nazionale to the nearby churches decorated by Ludovico, to the cloisters, museums and palazzi, the cultural walk is dazzling.

 History of Art: Baroque and Rococo
Carracci's art combined the pursuit of ideal beauty with a close observation of natural reality, and a breadth of vision inspired by classical models both ancient and contemporary; his success drew other artists from northern Italy to Rome: Francesco Albani (1578— 1660); Domenico Zampieri, or Domenichino (1581-1641).
The son of a butcher, Lodovico was the older cousin of the painters Annibale and Agostino Carracci.
The teaching techniques of the Carraccis' academy were based on frequent observation of nature, the study and revision of poses from life, and boldness of scale in drawing figures with chalk.

 Ludovico Carracci - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludovico (or Lodovico) Carracci ([Bologna, [April 21]], 1555 Bologna, November 13, 1619) was an Italian, early-Baroque painter, etcher, and printmaker from Bologna.
Along with his cousins Annibale and Agostino Carracci, Ludovico in 1585 was a founder and director (caposindaco) of the so-called Eclectic Academy of painting (also called the Accademia degli Incamminati), which in reality was a studio with apprenticed assistants.
Ludovico's own works are characterized by a strong mood invoked by broad gestures and flickering light that create spiritual emotion.

All the Carracci stressed the importance of drawing from life (all three were brilliant graphic artists), which was to be a hallmark of the Bolognese School they founded.
Ludovico’s style was less classical than that of his younger cousins Agostino and Annibale, perhaps because of a mystical turn of mind that gave his figures a sense of other-worldliness.
Ludovico maintained a balance between this Mannerist matrix, his innate religious piety and the naturalism of the work of his cousins.

 Biografie dei Carracci
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.
Ludovico left Bologna only for brief periods and directed the Carracci academy by himself after his cousins had gone to Rome.
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.

Ludovico had a strong influence on the next generation of Bolognese artists: Guido Reni, Giovanni Lanfranco, and Guercino.
Ludovico's Bargellini Madonna (1588), so called after the family that commissioned it, is one of the finest of these early "reformed" works.

 Art and the Viewer in 17th Century Italy by Raichel Le Goff
Further, that <Carracci Academy was characterized as representative of the most advanced and truly imaginative artistic thinking of their age>> - which is reflected in their choice of name, the Accademia degl' Incamminati - (the Academy of the Progressives).
For Borromeo, the Carracci were the most successful at interpreting the classical world and with it, the natural style of Raphael and Leonardo, and making it acceptable in the language of the seventeenth century.
If the Carracci Academy, led the way at the end of the sixteenth century, for art academies of the seicento then surely Agostino, as the most enthusiastic and possibly, the most gifted scholar of the three Carracci, can be considered a leading proponent of the new academic movement that spread from Bologna, throughout Europe.

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.

This unpublished work is arguably the most refined of a series of Holy Families that all date from the early 1580s, sometimes given to Annibale but increasingly recognized as Ludovico Carracci..
Here he has a pose that is very close to the Christ Child in the present composition, and Ludovico here uses the same soft chiaroscuro that characterizes many of the life studies of the period, and indeed the frescoes of the stories of Jason in Palazzo Fava, like the ones with the enchantress Medea.
The close relationship between the three Carracci is also underlined by the consideration that the child, particularly in the Horne Museum drawing, also has a close relationship with the suckling Christ Child in Agostino Carracci’s Madonna and Child with Ss.

During the late sixteenth century in the city of Bologna, three artists - Ludovico Carracci and his cousins Annibale and Agostini - laid the foundations for the style known as the Baroque.
To counter the prevailing style of Mannerism with its crowded compositions and unnaturally posed figures, the Carracci advocated a return to art based on observation and classical compositions.
The Carracci attracted many pupils and followers, a number of whom - Guido Reni, Guercino, and later Guiseppe Crespi and Ubaldo Gandolfi - became the leading Bolognese painters of subsequent generations.
