Dissertation topic: The Carracci Draughtsmanship and the Venetian Tradition. My dissertation
was concerned with academic practices which were cultivated by both the Carracci and some of

and paintings are analysed as models employed by the Carracci to champion their new attitude
towards the representation of real life, predominantly human figures and landscapes, during the
late sixteenth century.
