Carlo Antonio Procaccini (Bologna 1571 – Milan? 1630?)
Rest on the Flight into Egypt
Oil on wood, 34 x 48 cm
An example of the interest in Flemish painting that flourished in Milan around Federico Borromeo, Carlo Antonio Procaccini here borrows his figures from an engraving of 1593 by his elder brother Camillo, placing them in a setting of elegiac serenity modelled on the late work of Paul Bril.
