Carracci Family - Carracci Family

Japanese: カラッチ一族 - カラッチいちぞく（英語表記）Carracci

An Italian family of painters who overcame Mannerism, paved the way for the new style of the 17th century, and founded the so-called Bolognese School. The best-known brothers were Ludovico C. (1555-1619) and his cousins Agostino C. (1557-1602) and Annibale C. (1560-1609). The three initially shared a studio in their hometown of Bologna, and in 1582 founded the Accademia (art school). They placed importance on sketches of models, and took the color expression and naturalistic tendencies of Correggio and the Venetian school as their models, aiming to reform art at the time, which had fallen into the trap of empty repetition of forms and the pursuit of the fantastic.
