Two volumes in one. A study in the reform of Italian Painting around 1590. With 467 illustrations and 10 colour plates. This book, the first systematic study of Annibale Carracci's life and work, surveys the whole of the artist's activity and analyses the origin, development and significance of his achievements, viewing them against the background of the art and thought of the period. All known paintings and prints by the master are illustrated, as well as many of the drawings made in connection with them, in 346 black and white plates and ten colour plates, and all are exhaustively discussed in a catalogue raisonne. In addition, 121 text figures illustrate special aspects and the background of Annibale's art. There are also a bibliography and full indexes.

Cover has very slight shelfwear. Pages are clean, bright and unmarked. Binding is tight. Hinges are perfect. Pristine condition. With this meticulously researched volume, Posner positions Annibale Carracci not merely as a gifted painter but as the key figure in a deliberate and revolutionary transformation of Italian art at the close of the 16th century. Focusing on Carracci s early career and the cultural climate of Bologna, Posner argues convincingly that Annibale led a purposeful 'reform' of painting a movement away from the mannerist complexities and artificiality that had come to dominate post-Renaissance art.
