The Three Marys At The Tomb (Annibale Carraci)
''The Three Marys at the Tomb'', ''The Three Marys'' or ''The Pious Women at Christ's Tomb'' is a c.1600 oil on canvas painting by Annibale Carraci, now in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, which acquired it in 1836.Carel Van Tuyll Van Serooskerken, in ''Annibale Carracci, Catalogo della mostra Bologna e Roma 2006-2007'' (a cura di D. Benati e E. Riccomini), Milano, 2006, p. 378. The painting was commissioned by Lelio Pasqualini (1549-1611), a native of Bologna then resident in Rome, where he was a canon at Santa Maria Maggiore. Its unusual composition may be linked to Pasqualini's antiquarian interests - he owned one of the most notable collections of the time. It is one of the best examples of Annibale's synthesis of the artists then active in Rome, as also seen in ''The Loves of the Gods'' frescoes around 1600Donald Posner, ''Annibale Carracci: A Study in the reform of Italian Painting around 1590'', London, 1971, Vol. I, pp. 111-112.

Allegory Of Truth And Time
''An Allegory of Truth and Time'' is a 1584–85 oil on canvas painting by Annibale Carracci, now on display in Hampton Court as part of the Royal Collection. It is not mentioned in any of the 17th century biographical sources on Carracci's life and it is thought to have been in England by the early 18th century at the latest. The first definite reference to it dates to the mid 19th century, by which time it was in Queen Victoria's collection Daniele Benati, in ''Annibale Carracci, Catalogo della mostra Bologna e Roma 2006-2007'', Milano, 2006, p. 164. and thought to be by an unknown artist. Roberto Longhi and Hermann Voss assigned it its present attribution in the early 20th century. Its style is very close to that of the artist's work on the ''Lives of Jason and Medea'' frescoes at the Palazzo Fava in Bologna, produced around 1584 with his relations Agostino Carracci and Ludovico Carracci.Donald Posner, ''Annibale Carracci: A Study in the reform of Italian Painting around ...

Paintings In The Hermitage Museum
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract, narrative, s ...

Raphael Cartoons
The Raphael Cartoons are seven large cartoons for tapestries, belonging to the British Royal Collection but since 1865 on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, designed by the High Renaissance painter Raphael in 1515–16 and showing scenes from the Gospels and Acts of the Apostles. They are the only surviving members of a set of ten cartoons commissioned by Pope Leo X for the Sistine Chapel tapestries for the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Palace, which are still (on special occasions) hung below Michelangelo's famous ceiling.

The Loves Of The Gods
''The Loves of the Gods'' is a monumental fresco cycle, completed by the Bolognese artist Annibale Carracci and his studio, in the Farnese Gallery which is located in the west wing of the Palazzo Farnese, now the French Embassy, in Rome. The frescoes were greatly admired at the time, and were later considered to reflect a significant change in painting style away from sixteenth century Mannerism in anticipation of the development of Baroque and Classicism in Rome during the seventeenth century. Production Cardinal Odoardo Farnese, Pope Paul III's nephew, commissioned Annibale Carracci and his workshop to decorate the barrel-vaulted gallery on the '' piano nobile'' of the family palace. Work was started in 1597 and was not entirely finished until 1608, one year before Annibale's death.
