"I bop, you bop, and they bop . . . " (the art of Agostino Carracci)

It has been a while since I posted. I was looking for some inspiration and found it in I Modi.

The music selection for this post is an ode to masturbation, Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop."

I Modi is associated with Marcantonio Raimondi, but his work was copied by Agostino Carracci. It is Carracci's version of I Modi which survives into the modern world.

I have chosen to focus on the work of Carracci today, but will do a post about Raimondi tomorrow.
