- Abstract
This article aims to bring to light two works attributed to Annibale Carracci, whose compositions has the same theme, but are interpreted in different ways and techniques. It is about the painting 'The Mocking of Christ', on display in the Masterpieces section of the European Art Gallery of the museum and, respectively, an engraving with the same title, preserved in the Cabinet of Prints and Drawings. Carrying out a brief review of the artist's biography, we wish to underline the periods when the two works have been produced, thus reflecting the artist's feelings in the two different stages of his carreer: we can see in the painting the apogee of his artistic production, while in the etching we witness his artistic style from the last years of his life, marked by deep depression.
