Camillo Procaccini (1561 - 1629)

Procaccini, who came from a Bolognese family of artists, was an Italian painter who worked in the region of Bologna, Parma, Piacenza, Cremona and Milan. His work lies at the point of transition from late mannerism to baroque. He trained in the workshop of his father, Ercole Procaccini the Elder (1520–1595). His models were Raphael (1483–1520) and Michelangelo (1475–1564); his later work shows the influence of North Italian mannerists and Federico Barocci. Procaccini carried out mainly church commissions. At the beginning of the 17th century, together with Ludovico Carracci (1555–1619), one of the founders of Roman baroque, he painted the frescos in the nave and the apse of the Cathedral of Piacenza.
