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;
