# Hunting [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CARRACCI, Annibale]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 136 x 253 cm ## Commentary This painting and its companion piece, The Fishing was executed by Carracci in his period in Bologna. At this time he was extremely interested in landscape, and his experiments are a foreshadowing of Poussin's classical compositions; but in these pictures he is exploring in a different direction, in the tradition of Bassani, whose studios continued to turn out landscapes which were prized all over Europe. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 9 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/18\_cent/haydn\_autumn\_23-26\_hunt.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Joseph Haydn: The Seasons, Part 3 Autumn, aria and chorus \(Hunters' chorus\)</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [A Sea God Abducts a Woman \(detail\)]() - [A Sea God Abducts a Woman]() - [Assumption of the Virgin Mary]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Atlante]() - [Butcher's Shop \(detail\)]() - [Butcher's Shop]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Ceiling fresco]() - [Cephalus and Aurora]() - [Christ and the Woman of Samaria]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
