Fotoreproductie van het schilderij De genius van de roem door Annibale Carracci before 1875

This 19th-century photograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a reproduction of Annibale Carracci's painting, "The Genius of Fame." The photo depicts a winged figure ascending into the clouds, surrounded by cherubs. The central figure, representing fame, holds a laurel wreath and a trumpet, symbolizing victory and praise. This photo serves as a visual testament to the enduring impact of Carracci's work and its influence on later generations of artists. "The Genius of Fame" is a prime example of Carracci's mastery of Baroque style, characterized by dramatic composition, dynamic figures, and a sense of grandeur.
