SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Giulio Cesare Procaccini was born in Bologna in 1574 and died in Milan in 1625. He belonged to a family of artists. He trained as a sculptor and worked for Milan Cathedral before establishing himself as a painter. His Madonna and Child with Saints Francis and Dominic and Angels, about 1612, brings ten tightly interwoven figures together in the Metropolitan Museum. Angular poses and a flickering painted surface intensify the religious feeling.
The Ecstasy of the Magdalen in the National Gallery of Art, dated 1616–20, shows the saint supported by angels before her ascent to heaven. In the Prado’s Agony in the Garden, from the same period, Christ’s troubled face contrasts with the angel’s serenity. These compositions bring bodies close to the viewer and give sacred events an immediate presence.
