"The Beaneater" (Italian: "Mangiafagioli") is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, dating from around 1580–1590. The artwork is renowned for its vivid portrayal of a mundane subject, illustrating Carracci's interest in naturalism and his departure from the idealized figures that characterized much of the art of his time. The painting depicts a man seated at a table, engaged in the simple act of eating beans, a staple food of the common people in 16th-century Italy.

Annibale Carracci, along with his brother Agostino and cousin Ludovico, was a central figure in the development of the Baroque style, and he played a significant role in the Bolognese School. "The Beaneater" is considered one of his early genre works, showcasing his skill in capturing the textures, colors, and light that define everyday life. The subject's candid expression and the detailed rendering of his meal and surroundings reflect Carracci's commitment to observing and representing the world around him with honesty and directness.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 57 cm × 68 cm. It is currently housed in the Galleria Colonna in Rome, Italy. "The Beaneater" is often discussed in the context of Carracci's contribution to the genre painting tradition, which would influence later artists in Italy and beyond. The work is admired for its combination of realism and humanity, offering a glimpse into the life of ordinary people during the Italian Renaissance and serving as a testament to Carracci's innovative approach to art.
