Verified profile

The oval was created by Annibale Carracci (1560-1609) for a series to which his brother Agostino (1557-1602) and cousin Ludovico (1555-1619) also contributed, for the private library of Cesare d’Este at the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara. The ovals depict a series of classical mythology deities in the naturalistic style that the Carracci were developing in those years, blending the compositional norms and the importance of drawing derived from the Florentine manner with the typical colorism of the Venetians. The series is considered an important test for the Carracci of a pictorial cycle inspired by classical antiquity, in view of the Farnese Gallery in Rome, whose works would have started in 1597, as well as one of the last important projects in Ferrara before the city was returned to the Papal State in 1598.
