Agostino carracci biography of albert

In Agostino joined his brother Annibale in Rome, to fresco the Gallery of the Farnese Palace, whose ceiling was judged by many art critics to be one of the real masterpieces of paintingranking alongside the Sistine Chapel frescoes and the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican. It remained hugely influential, as a template of heroic figure design and painterly technique, until denigrated by John Ruskinwho - somewhat perversely - considered the Carraccis to lack talent.

Fortunately, they were fully rehabilitated during the second half of the 20th century. In Agostino and his brother Annibale returned to Bologna and - in partnership with Lodovico - started the "Academy degli Desiderosi" later renamed "Academia degli Incamminati" - Academy of the Progressivesto champion figure drawing using live models and to discuss the latest issues of art and design.

It was this academy that formed the nucleus of the Bolognese School. Agostino himself combined teaching with painting. In he painted his masterpiece - the "Last Communion of St. Jerome" - now in the National Art Gallery of Bologna Pinacoteca di Bolognaand in fact lent a hand in the decoration of almost every great palace in Bologna.

Naturally innovative, Agostino's painting style leaned towards Mannerismin contrast to the idealistic naturalism of his brother Annibale. Add a New Bio. Powered by CITE.
