Annibale Carracci (age 5)

Ceiling fresco

Farnese Gallery, Rome

Ones upon a time mother and father Carracci were given a task to find an artist, capable of decorating several halls in a new palace being constructed. They left little Annibale under supervision of construction workers and left for the day. Upon their return, there was no doubt that the artist had already been found!
