Editing Annibale Carracci (section)

==Landscapes, genre art and drawings==
On July 8, 1595, Annibale completed the painting of ''[[Saint Roch Giving Alms]]'', now in Dresden Gemäldegalerie. Other significant late works painted by Carracci in Rome include ''[[Domine quo vadis?]]'' (c. 1602), which reveals a striking economy in figure composition and a force and precision of gesture that influenced on [[Nicolas Poussin|Poussin]] and through him, the language of gesture in painting.

Carracci was remarkably eclectic in thematic, painting landscapes, genre scenes, and portraits, including a series of autoportraits across the ages. He was one of the first Italian painters to paint a canvas wherein [[landscape painting|landscape]] took priority over figures, such as his masterful ''[[Landscape with the Flight into Egypt (Carracci)|The Flight into Egypt]]''; this is a genre in which he was followed by [[Domenichino]] (his favorite pupil) and [[Claude Lorrain]].

Carracci's art also had a less formal side that comes out in his caricatures (he is generally credited with inventing the form) and in his early [[genre art|genre]] paintings, which are remarkable for their lively observation and free handling<ref>see [http://humanitiesweb.org/human.php?s=g&p=c&a=p&ID=1365 ''The Butcher's Shop'']</ref> and his painting of ''The Beaneater''. He is described by biographers as inattentive to dress, obsessed with work: his self-portraits (such as [[Self-Portrait (Annibale Carracci)|that in Parma]]) vary in his depiction.<ref>[http://www.mostracarracci.it/mostra.htm see ''mostra''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070114233550/http://www.mostracarracci.it/mostra.htm |date=2007-01-14 }} {{in lang|it}}</ref>
