Annibale Carracci (1560–1609) was the most admired painter of his time and the vital force in the creation of Baroque style. Together with his cousin Ludovico(1555–1619) and his older brother Agostino (1557–1602)—each an outstanding artist—Annibale set out to transform Italian painting. The Carracci rejected the artificiality of Mannerist painting, championing a return to nature coupled with the study of the great northern Italian painters of the Renaissance, especially Correggio,Titian, and Veronese.
Some historians argue that these following engravings were in fact done by Camillo Procaccini, though based on Carracci drawings, which in turn are very alike the engravings that Marcantonio Raimondi did after drawings by Giulio Romano.
