Beskrivning
A masterful 1586 engraving by Agostino Carracci, reproducing Correggio's famous religious composition with technical precision.
This engraving by Agostino Carracci, dated 1586, reproduces the celebrated painting by Correggio. Carracci, a member of the influential Bolognese family of painters and printmakers, demonstrates his technical mastery through the use of varied hatching and cross-hatching to define form and light. The composition depicts the Virgin and Child flanked by Saint Jerome and Mary Magdalene, with an angel nearby. Saint Jerome is shown with his traditional attribute, the lion, while Mary Magdalene kneels in a gesture of devotion.
The work is a prime example of the reproductive print tradition, where engravers sought to translate the tonal qualities of oil paintings into the monochromatic medium of copperplate engraving. Carracci captures the soft, atmospheric quality of Correggio's original style, balancing the figures within a natural setting that includes a draped canopy and foliage. The inscription at the base provides details regarding the dedication and the source of the invention, reflecting the scholarly approach to art production common in the late sixteenth century.
Agostino Carracci was instrumental in the development of the Carracci Academy in Bologna, where he taught the importance of drawing from life and the study of classical masters. His prints were widely circulated across Europe, allowing artists and collectors to study works that were otherwise inaccessible. This particular engraving remains a record of his skill in interpreting the works of his predecessors, maintaining a high level of detail in the drapery, the musculature of the figures, and the textures of the surrounding environment. The print serves as a record of the artistic dialogue between the Renaissance masters and the subsequent generation of Italian artists.

Artist Biography
Agostino Carracci
Agostino Carracci began his career not at an easel but at a jeweller's bench, training as a goldsmith before switching to painting in Bologna. With his brother Annibale and cousin Ludovico, he co-founded the Accademia degli Incamminati in 1582, the reform academy whose influence on Italian painting would prove far more durable than any single canvas. Where Annibale attracted the larger reputation, Agostino excelled at a craft that contemporaries undervalued: engraving. His reproductive prints after Tintoretto, Titian and Veronese spread knowledge of Venetian colour across Italy before photographs existed.
His masterpiece as a painter, The Last Communion of Saint Jerome (1592), hangs in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna. The composition is controlled and deeply felt, with the dying saint receiving the sacrament in a soft, Correggesque light that reveals Agostino's careful study of the Parma master. He also contributed to major fresco cycles at Palazzo Fava (1584, Lives of Jason and Medea) and Palazzo Magnani (1590-92, Scenes from the Foundation of Rome), working alongside Annibale on both.
The engraving work that critics sometimes dismissed as mere reproduction turns out to have had an unexpectedly long legacy. His print after Paolo Fiammingo's Love in the Golden Age is recorded as a direct source for Matisse's Le bonheur de vivre (1905-06), connecting a Bologna workshop of the 1580s to Fauvist Paris three centuries later. Agostino died in Parma in March 1602, at forty-four, leaving a son, Antonio, who also became a painter.
