Annibale Carracci
The person I will be doing my report about is a man named Annibale Caracci, this man was born on November 3, 1560 in Bologna. He was apprenticed within his family, his brother and cousin had opened a painter’s studio, so that’s how he first got introduced to art, and yes he too became a painter. He and his brother traveled around Italy studing painter’s styles and such. One of the painters they studied was that of Titan, which was an oil painter.
He liked to paint landscapes, genre scenes, and portraits, including a series of autoportraits across the age. He was one of the first Italian painters to where landscape took priority over figures in the canvass. He made sure to show emotions as he painted and could convey an idea of what was going on.
Annibale is considered a baroque painter because of both the time period he was in and also the fact that how he painted was just like it was in the baroque time. This was characterized by dynamic emotion, overt emotion and self-confidents.
If you were to look at paintings from the baroque time period and then look at some of his paintings, you would see the resemblance right away. From the colors he uses and how he paints to the things he paints and the ways he paints them, you would know he was from the baroque time period of art.
When you look at art from Annibale and then look at some famous pictures by others, you can tell that how people paint people today was greatly influenced by both the baroque period and Annibale himself. An example would be paintings in chapels or many churches, so the world was greatly influenced.
I personally enjoy a lot about this painter. How he paints emotion and vivid actions and colors in his paintings. He uses the colors to show emotion and to help to convey a message of what is going on. He is a little bit different from others of his time period because he makes sure to use his landscape at the same time when he paints a picture.
