This documentary focuses on the essence of the Carracci's art, from the dynamics of their working in a team—the Carracci were the first art collective in history—to the great legacy of their new aesthetics born out of a dedication to practice over theory, still so relevant today. Hosted by well-known art historian, Marco Riccòmini and structured like a road movie, we adventure from Fort Worth, Texas to Oxford, England to Rome and Bologna in Italy to visit well-loved, classic Carracci works. Riccòmini meets with directors, museum curators, students, and even tourists to help us understand their defiant return to realism, which had an enormous impact on the direction of Italian art at the time, and how the three artists, who were so different in personality and talent, were able to complement each other to achieve these masterpieces.
