The Coronation of the Virgin after 1595 Annibale Carracci Italian This majestic picturea window onto heavenwas painted for Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini (1571-1621) following the artist’s arrival in Rome in 1595. In it Annibale brings together two currents of Italian painting: a north Italian sensitivity to the effects of natural light and color, and the spatial organization and idealized figures associated with Raphael. The figure of God the Father was based on an ancient Roman sculpture of Jupiter. Together with Caravaggio, Annibale Carracci was the most influential painter of the seventeenth century and the main figure in the development of classicism.

Saint John the Baptist Bearing Witness ca. 1600 Annibale Carracci Italian Annibale launched the vogue for landscapes in which nature is transformed by the imagination into an idyllic setting for religious or mythological stories. The subject of this picture is based on the Gospel of John: "The next day John the Baptist seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." The event preceded the baptism of Jesus by John. This beautifully preserved work was described in 1678 in the collection of the Farnese family in Parma and was later part of the Orléans collection in Paris.. Saint John the Baptist Bearing Witness.
