Was an Italian Baroque painter.Annibale Carracci was born in Bologna, and in all likelihood first apprenticed within his family. In 1582, Annibale, his brother Agostino, and his cousin Ludovico Carracci opened a painter's studio, called by some initially as the Academy of Desiderosi (Desirous of fame and learning) or subsequently of the Incamminati (progressives; literally "of those opening a new way"). While the Carraccis laid emphasis on the typically Florentine linear draftsmanship, as exemplified by Raphael and Andrea del Sarto, their style also derived from Venetian painters an attention to the glimmering colors and mistier edge of objects. This eclecticism would define artists of the Baroque Emilian or Bolognese School.

Is an artist based in Berlin. He is known for his often large-scale abstract paintings and found-object sculptures using alumnium foil, acrylic, neon colours, and mirrors. Working with a studio of assistants and using a limited set of painting processes and compositions, Reyle produces a high volume of paintings.[1] In his large-scale paintings, sculptures, and painted reliefs, Reyle deals with the modernistic vocabulary of abstract painting (Abstract Expressionism, Hard-edge painting, Art Informel and Op art), while exploring the union between the mundane and the highly seductive. However, his works go beyond a mere postmodernistic-ironical allusion.
