River Landscape by Annibale Carracci

In today's episode, we get to picture ourselves in a dreamy landscape on a sunny afternoon courtesy of Annibale Carracci and the National Gallery of Art in DC. Annibale was a painter in Bologna, Italy from the 1580s to early 1600s and one of his big innovations was making landscapes like this a thing in Italian art.  We'll also find out how Annibale is connected to celebrity artist Lavinia Fontana who we met in a previous episode and what happened to the poor guy when he took on a project with the client from hell!  SHOW NOTES (TRANSCRIPT BELOW) "A Long Look" opening and closing themes are by Ron Gelinas: "Ascension" https://youtu.be/jGEdNSNkZoo and "Easy" https://youtu.be/2QGe6skVzSs Episode music: "Classical Piano and Cello" by Danielyan Ashot Makichevich. https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-classical-piano-and-cello-short-version-112721 "The Well Tempered Clavier, Book I, BWV 846-869 - Fugue No. 21 in B-flat major, BWV 866" by Johann Sebastian Bach.
