“The loves of the gods”
\nAbove us
\nExtending with great soul
\nAnnibale Carracci
\nTook on this splendid role
\nIt was known as mannerism
\nA technique of artisty
\n11 years of dedication
\nAnd perfect synergy<\/p>\n
The frescoe’s they were beautiful
\nImmaculate they and far
\nFlawlessness transcending
\nClearly the brightest star
\nOf diligence and fervour
\nOf eminence and grace
\nSuch unbelievable artistry
\nFrom the heart
\nAnd at a pace<\/p>\n
Classical and beautiful
\nDramatic and joyful we
\nCan look up to the heavens
\nTo the infallibility
\n11 years of excellence
\nOf exemplary regard
\nSuch gravity and influence
\nUnwaveringly hard<\/p>\n
At the end Cardinal Odoardo
\nInsulted him and gave
\nHim just 500 scudi
\nOn a saucer it couldnt save
\nHis exhaustion and his sadness
\nFor he began to fade away
\nCharged with the rent
\nIt left him bent
\nMaking him to pay<\/p>\n
For living in the gallery
\nBroken, he was done
\nThis obdurate and mulish man
\nHis behaviour it would stun
\nA sadness born of callousness
\nDepressed him through and through
\nProfoundly lost in misery
\nAs to what now he could do<\/p>\n
Carraci died of a broken heart
\nInsulted and saddened by
\nThe ugliness and unfairness
\nWhich occasioned him thus to die
\nA broken hearted artist
\nA genius of soughts
\nCrying his sweet eyes out
\nWith his most crestfallen thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
