During the Italian Baroque art period, the counter reformations was happening. The Jesuits were created to help fight the progress of the reformation. Most countries took a side in this, choosing to either declare as a catholic or protestant country. Carracci was a prominit artist of the time who founded an art school. He and this school had a problem with the lack of drawing in mannerism, so they increased the amount of it in art. Here we start to see works of art that are just drawings.

Also, the newfound appreciation for sketches combines to create many of the elements in this work. It is a Paysage Compose where the images in many different drawings are combined together into this work. It is apparent when looking at the building which is out of place in this natural setting.
