The Beaneater

Annibale Carracci

Colonna Gallery

 
DESCRIZIONE:

This is one of the masterpieces of the master from Bologna who, in this painting, tried his hand at the new tendency towards realism, but with a popularist touch, which took off thanks to the  "bamboccianti", a school guided by flemish painter Pieter van Laer, also known as Bamboccio. Annibale, in his youth, often depicted similar scenes, even caricatures, before arriving at a more precise personal style that characterized his later and more celebrated works.
