Items related to Ludovico Carracci (Drawing Gallery)
This collection of paintings and drawings by the head of the Bolognese school, Ludovico Carracci, showcases his naturalistic approach and the fundamental role of draftsmanship in his creative process. The previous 20 years of art scholarship have seen a revival of interest in Carracci's work as his paintings are no longer confused with work by Caravaggio and by his cousin and pupil Annibale Carracci. Stylized elegance, measured expressionism, fresh invention, and dynamism in composition distinguish Carracci's style as unique among 17th-century artists.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Ludovico Carracci (1555-1619) has long been underestimated. Celebrated as the uncontested head of the Bolognese school by Malvasia in Felsina Pittrice, several of his paintings have been confused with works by Caravaggio and by his cousin and pupil Annibale Carracci, whose fame has eclipsed his. The reconstruction of his oeuvre (both paintings and drawings) in the last twenty years has allowed art historians to restore him to his proper place in the development of modern painting. Around 1590 his initially naturalistic approach, based on a neo-mannerist heritage, develops into a totally original language of stylised elegance and measured expressionism. Draughtsmanship is fundamental to Ludovico's creative process. The variety of techniques, inventiveness and dynamism in composition give his graphic work an uncommon appeal, much appreciated in the eighteenth century by the greatest collectors. The Louvre collection holds many of his masterpieces. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Seller Inventory # 303937
