Agostino Carracci (1557–1602) was born in Bologna, the elder brother of Annibale Carracci and cousin of Ludovico Carracci. Together, the three Carracci founded the Accademia degli Incamminati in Bologna around 1582, a teaching academy that profoundly influenced the development of European art by promoting a return to direct observation of nature and the study of the greatest masters of the Renaissance.
