PROCACCINI, CAMILLO, born in Bologna
in 1546,
died in Milan in
1626. Bolognese
school; son and
pupil of Ercole
Procaccini, the
elder; studied
the works of
Raphael and of
Michelangelo in
Rome, but formed
his style chiefly on that of Correggio and
of Parmigianino. He had great facility of
execution, and abused it by painting too
many works, some of which show evidences
of carelessness; but generally his pictures
are pleasing and well coloured. Many of
his works are in the churches of Milan, especially
in S. Alessandro, S. Marco, S. M.
del Carmine, S. M. presso S. Celso, and S.
M. della Passione. Several also in S. Giorgio,
Bologna. In galleries are: Nativity,
Bologna; St. Roch healing the Sick, Dresden;
Baptism of Constantine, Gotha; Annunciation,
Leipsic; Madonna, Munich;
