“It has often been pointed out that there is a close similarity between the angel playing the violin in Caravaggio’s Rest on the Flight into Egypt and the figure of Vice in Annibale Carracci’s depiction of the Choice of Hercules from the Farnese Palace in Rome. The paintings must be nearly contemporary (about 1596), but neither is dated precisely so we cannot be certain which way the influence went, if in fact there is a relationship at all. …” -Irving Lavin
