The whole life1595–1609 · Workplace
Rome
1602
A trip to Emilia-Romagna, probably for Agostino’s funeral
After 1595 Annibale left Rome only twice; the first time was briefly in 1602, to Emilia-Romagna, probably for the funeral of his brother Agostino.
1602
The commission for the Herrera Chapel
In 1602 Annibale received the commission to decorate the Herrera Chapel in the Roman church of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli. The surviving parts of the frescoes were later transferred to the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona and some to the Prado Museum in Madrid.
c. 1605
A mental breakdown after a meagre fee
Carracci was a melancholic, and around 1605 he suffered a mental breakdown which, biographers explain, was caused by the unexpectedly low fee of 500 scudi for the frescoes of the Farnese gallery.
March 1605
Serious illness: rheumatism keeps him from painting
In March 1605 Annibale fell seriously ill and apparently never recovered enough to resume work. From 1605 severe rheumatic pains deprived him of the ability to paint.
15 July 1609
Died
