Widely regarded as one of the greatest draughtsmen of all time Annibale Carracci (1560?1609) is celebrated for his naturalism. Born in a time when the elegant deformations and exaggerations of Italian mannerism were still in vogue Carracci turned instead to nature as his principal inspiration. Much attuned to the everyday world around him he took as much interest in studying a man bowling a butcher weighing a piece of meat or a street entertainer with his monkey as he did in the preparatory studies for his grand mythological and religious paintings.
