Giulio Cesare Procaccini (1574–1625) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the early Baroque era in Milan.
Biography
Born in Bologna he was son of the Mannerist painter Ercole Procaccini the Elder and brother of Camillo Procaccini and Carlo Antonio Procaccini. The family moved to Milan around 1585 with the help of the rich art collector Pirro Visconti.
He began as a sculptor in the Cathedral and in the Milanese church of Santa Maria presso San Celso. In 1610 he painted six of the Quadroni, large canvases celebrating Saint Charles Borromeo.
Among his many altarpieces are the Circumcision (c.1616) now in Galleria Estense, Modena, and the Last Supper (1616) for Convent associated with the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato in Genoa. He also painted the Scourging of Christ. In 1620 for the Church of Santa Maria di Canepanova in Pavia he painted two canvases depicting Debora who has the army gather and Rachel with Jacob at the well and, still in the same city, Saint Teresa for the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie.{{cite web|url=https://www.fraticanepanova.it/santuario/cenni-storici-e-architettonici.html|title=Cenni Storici e Architettonici|work=Frati di Canepanova|access-date=8 September 2022|archive-date=31 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831103052/https://www.fraticanepanova.it/santuario/cenni-storici-e-architettonici.html|url-status=dead}}
He worked with Giovanni Battista Crespi (il Cerano) and Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli (il Morazzone) following the directions of Cardinal Federico Borromeo, patron of the arts and cousin of Charles Borromeo.From that time there is a beautiful garland that Procaccini made in collaboration with the Flemish painter Jan Brueghel, who was also working for Cardinal Borromeo at that time, belongs to the Prado Museum collections and comes from the Spanish royal collection. He also painted small religious canvases for rich families, in Milan and in Genoa, where he saw the works of Rubens.
His style shows the influence of Bolognese mannerism and Venetian colorism and marks the beginning of the Baroque.
