information from the Kimbell Art Museum catalog

description: Around the time that he painted The Butcher’s Shop, in about 1582, Annibale Carracci joined his older cousin Ludovico and his brother Agostino to found the Carracci Academy in Bologna. This teaching academy trained the next generation of Bolognese painters and altered the future course of Italian art. Stressing the direct observation of nature, Annibale led a “reform” of painting that swept away the then current Mannerism. Aiming at a more honest, emotional expression of reality, he drew incessantly from life.
