Annibale Carracci

Annibale Carracci, born in 1560 in Bologna and died in 1609 in Rome, was an Italian painter and a pioneer of the Baroque movement. His works, such as 'The Assumption of the Virgin' and 'The Butcher's Shop,' are admired for their dynamic compositions and emotional depth. Carracci's contributions to Baroque art and his influence on Italian painting have made him a celebrated figure in late 16th and early 17th-century art.
