School of ANNIBALE CARRACCI (Bologna, 1560 - Rome, 1609) "Young people laughing". Oil on canvas. It presents faults and restorations. Measurements: 44 x 50 cm; 58 x 63 cm (frame). It is remarkable the presence of a double portrait in this work, since it was not a common representation at the time. In the painting, the artist arranges the two knights in a square format with a neutral and dark background, which gives great prominence to the figure of the protagonists, thus avoiding any anecdotal element that is not part of the main figures. Each of the characters is arranged in the lateral areas of the composition, to a certain extent taking the center of the scene, since there is not a great distance between them. One of the young men looks directly at the viewer, while the other looks at his companion, also smiling. These mischievous attitudes, added to the clothes that can be seen, indicate that these are boys who belong to a lower class, thus being a portrait with a certain costumbrista air, very fashionable at the time. In fact, it is interesting to relate this work to the painting called The Butcher's Shop, painted by Annibale Carraci, between 1580-1590, which today belongs to the collection of the Colonna Gallery in Rome. Carraci's connection with Vicenzo Campi and the painter Passaroti resulted in the artist's great influence and interest in capturing this type of genre subject matter. A subject matter in which the artist employed a rougher style in relation to his more classicist works. Harmonizing thus between aesthetics and the theme to which it was dedicated. At the beginning of the 17th century, at the same time that Caravaggio was breaking away from Mannerist and even Renaissance conventions, a new way of understanding painting, usually called "eclecticism", was emerging in Bologna under the guidance of Carracci. It sought to integrate the best of each master, especially Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Veronese and Correggio. However, Annibale Carracci's personality led him to evolve towards a very personal classicism, which did not disdain certain Caravaggiesque achievements. It presents faults and restorations.

Italian coins BOLOGNA Annibale II Bentivoglio (1511-1512) Duchy - CNI 250 AU (g 3.46) RRRR Annibale Bentivoglio, son of John II, succeeded in seizing, with his partisans, Bologna, which he ruled for a year. He certainly knew he was unable to maintain that position unless he convinced Julius II to recognize it, so after an initial fasedi open rebellion, he sought an agreement with the pontiff. Despite his efforts, Julius II had no intention of coming to terms with him and, with the military help of the King of Naples, managed to drive him out as he had done his father. It is likely that Hannibal, unable to issue coins in Julius II's name without his permission, issued some independently. The punch used to imprint St. Peter was changed significantly after the arrival in Bologna of the new cardinal legate Giovanni Medici. While previously the robe was depicted as long to the point of hiding the feet, it was later shown shorter, with the ankles uncovered. Since it is unlikely that Giovanni Bentivoglio II issued anonymous ducats without his own coat of arms or that of the pontiff at the end of his rule, it is believed that this golden bolognino must be attributed to Hannibal II. And those with the short robe without any armlet are assignable to the Vacant Sees following the pontificate of Leo X. A coin of great rarity and superb quality, especially the D/, which has reliefs practically intact and perfectly impressed. The only specimen, other than this one, that we have been able to find , turns out to be the one in the Künker auction of 2022, mis-catalogued under Clement VII and which, in BB+ conservation, realized 3200 euros + fees. - qFDC/ M.of SPL
