Annibale Carraci's Jesus and Virgin Mary Paintings Review

Annibale Carraci's Jesus and Virgin Mary Paintings Review

In my previous review, I told you all you needed to know about Carracci. So, let just move on with out lives. In this painting, we see Jesus being Baptized by his cousin. The two main figures in the foreground are pointing to Jesus. They want the viewer to focus on Jesus. The scenery is naturalistic. The figures are all idealized. The clothed figures in the background are the Pharisees. They always had something to say about whatever Jesus did. Anyhow, this painting of Annibale Carracci deserves 5 stars rating.

 This painting is pretty self explanatory. Jesus is being supported by two angels. One of them is looking at the viewer. He wants us to understand what Jesus suffered for the sake of our sins. In any case, this baroque painting of Annibale Carracci deserves 5 stars rating.

This is a pretty unusual depiction of Christ. Here, we see him dead with the three Marys and his mother. His mother fainted with Christ in her arms. Her hand positions are similar to that of her son. The maiden in Red is Mary Magdalene. As noted, the figures here have thin halos. The patron wanted Halos on the three Marys. The sad expression on the maidens are realistic. However, all the figures are idealized. In any case, this painting of Annibale Carracci is 5 stars worthy.

 Like we all know, Nuns are the wives of Christ. As such, St. Catherine is getting married to baby Jesus. He is giving her a wedding band. Behind her, we have two angels. One is looking at the saint, the other at the viewer. In doing so, we become part of the miracle. The figures here are extremely pretty. The light falls on all their faces. In any case, this painting deserves 5 stars rating. I think those are all the paintings worth rating. I hope that you liked them a lot.
