( Consignment). Renaissance Deposition after Annibale Carracci (1560-1609), Oil Painting 74 x 51. Carracci is an Italian painter who was influential in recovering the classicizing tradition of the High Renaissance from the affectations of Mannerism.The sons of a tailor, Annibale and his older brother Agostino were at first guided by their older cousin Lodovico, a painter who persuaded them to follow him in his profession. Annibale’s precocious talents developed in a tour of northern Italy in the 1580s, his visit to Venice being of special significance. He is said to have lodged in that city with the painter Jacopo Bassano, whose style of painting influenced him for a time. Annibale may be credited with the rediscovery of the early 16th-century painter Correggio, who had been effectively forgotten outside Parma for a generation; Annibale’s Baptism of Christ (1585) for the Church of San Gregorio in Bologna is a brilliant tribute to this Parmese master.
