Annibale Carracci is remarkably eclectic in thematic, painting landscapes, genre scenes, and portraits, including a series of autoportraits across the ages.

He is one of the first Italian painters to paint a canvas wherein landscape takes priority over figures, such as his masterful The Flight into Egypt; this is a genre in which he will be followed by Domenichino (his favorite pupil) and Lorraine.
