The older boy, Innocenzo, would soon commence his career as an artist, becoming Annibale Carracci's main pupil and collaborator during the master's early years in Rome. The group portrait is characterised by its tone of simple truth, intimate and private, and its touchingly informal conception. ## Related artworks - [An Angel Frees the Souls of Purgatory]() - [Annunciation]() - [Bargellini Madonna]() - [Battle of the Romans and Sabines]() - [Christ Served by Angels in the Wilderness]() - [Portrait of Carlo Alberto Rati Opizzoni in Armour]() - [Presentation in the Temple]() - [Romulus and Remus Suckled by the Wolf]() - [St Peter in Penitence]() - [The Conversion of St Paul]() - [The Death of Amulius]() - [The Dream of Saint Catherine of Alexandria \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
