*‘Parallel with Caravaggio’s was the activity of Annibale Carracci in Rome. During his years in Bologna, the Carracci family had pioneered a synthesis of the traditionally opposed Renaissance concepts of “disegno” (“drawing”) and “colore” (“colour”); and in 1595[ce] Annibale took to Roma his mature style in which the plasticity of the Central Italian tradition is wedded to the Venetian colouristic tradition. The decoration of the vault of the gallery in the Palazzio Farnese, Rome (1597-1604[ce]), marks not only the high point in Annibale’s career but also the beginning of the long series of Baroque ceiling decorations.
