Italian, 1590–1700
Roman School is an Italian artistic movement that emerged in the late 16th century and continued into the 17th century. It is characterized by a focus on classical themes, idealized forms, and a harmonious composition, reflecting the influence of the High Renaissance. The movement is often associated with artists such as Annibale Carracci and Guido Reni, who sought to revive the grandeur of classical antiquity while incorporating emotional depth into their works. The Roman School played a significant role in the development of Baroque art, influencing subsequent generations of artists across Europe. Major works from this period include Carracci's 'The Triumph of Bacchus' and Reni's 'Aurora.' The Roman School is notable for its emphasis on color, light, and the human figure, establishing a foundation for later artistic movements.
