His female heads, like those of his brothers, are remarkably beautiful. - ANTONIO C. studied, under his brother, both painting and architecture. He was also a plastic artist, an engraver, and the historian of his native place. - VINCENZO C. (B. before 1532, D. 1591) seems to have followed the guidance of Antonio rather than that of Giulio, and excelled more in small figures than in large pictures. His paintings of fruits are highly valued. BERNAR DINO C. (B. 1522, D. about 1590), a kinsman of the three brothers C., was the most famous of the whole. Lanzi terms him "The Annibale Caracci" of the school. He chiefly followed Raphael, yet without servile imitation. Many of his works are found in Milan and Cremona.
