By giving the sacred figures human weight and real emotion, Agostino met the Catholic Counter-Reformation's demands for pious art. This piece helped to create a new, natural style that shaped the future of Baroque art. #AgostinoCarracci

My drawing is of the original engraving in 1524 by Marcantonio Raimondi for Aretino’s first posture. Raimondi, #GiulioBonasone & #AgostinoCarracci copied all kinds of erotic paintings by #Raphael, Giulio #Romano, #Titian & the #Carracci brothers. #Zealot #Catholics burned most.
