Summary
Updated 2026-06-09
He helped blow up Mannerism. Agostino Carracci and his brother and cousin opened a teaching academy in Bologna that became the engine for a whole new school of painting—one that turned late-16th-century Italian art in a different direction.
Biography
About
Born in August 1557, Agostino Carracci worked as a painter, printmaker, tapestry designer, and teacher. Alongside his brother Annibale and cousin Ludovico, he founded the Accademia degli Incamminati—the Academy of the Progressives—in Bologna. The academy's purpose was to devise alternatives to the Mannerist style that had dominated the preceding decades. That teaching project succeeded: it propelled the painters of the School of Bologna to prominence and shifted the course of Italian art. Agostino died in March 1602.
