Bean Eater (c1583). Oil on canvas. 57 x 68. The Bean eater is a painting by the Italian Baroque painter Annibale Carracci. Dating from 1580-1590, it is housed in the gallery of Palazzo Colonna of Rome. The painting is connected to the contemporary Butcher's Shop, for it shares the same popularesque style. Painted in Bologna, it is a broadly and realistically painted still life, which owes much to Flanders and Holland. Carracci was also influenced in the depiction of everyday life subjects by Vincenzo Campi and Bartolomeo Passarotti. Manifest is Carracci's capability to adapt his style, making it lower when concerning lower subjects like the Mangiafagioli, while in his more academic works he was able to use a more classicist composure with the same ease.
