Abstract (en)

Investigates Carracci's drawings after ancient sculpture, executed primarily after his move to Rome in 1594, and demonstrates the artist's free approach to his sources. Shows how Annibale's allusions to and adaptations of classical sculpture in many of the figures in his frescoes for the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese, Rome, may be seen as a sort of pictorial paragone comparing the arts of painting and sculpture.
