Annibale Carracci

Born : 1560Died : 1609

Born in 1560 and died in 1609, the Bolognese painter Annibale Carracci is associated with naturalistic genre painting from his earliest works, including *The Bean Eaters*. Ludovico Carracci contributed in part to his training. In Bologna, the Carracci founded an academy whose pupils included Reni and Domenichino.

By 1595 at the latest, Annibale was working in Rome, at the Palazzo Farnese. The works listed by the Art Institute of Chicago cover several stages of his career: *The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist* (1590), *Venus and Satyr* (1592), *Christ of Caprarola* (1597) and *Madonna and Child with Saints Elizabeth and John the Baptist* (after 1606). The institution also lists a sheet from 1595, *Landscape with Man Sleeping beneath Tree* on the recto and *Landscape with a Horseman* on the verso.
