There he founded a school of painting called the Academy of the Procaccini, which trained many Milanese painters, including Ercole's three sons. Giulio Cesare, however, began his career as a sculptor. His painting style was an amalgam of influences that included little of his father's Carracci pedigree. He spent much of his career in Milan, which was itself a city where influences from the south, east, and north intersected. While Procaccini probably gave up sculpting around 1600, for the next two decades the sculptural quality of his paintings betrayed his origins. From 1613 to 1616 he worked in Modena, where he was profoundly influenced by the softness and extreme sfumato of Correggio and his followers. Working in Genoa in 1618, he studied Peter Paul Rubens's expressive, colorful paintings. Procaccini's style fluctuated throughout his career. He employed the acid colors and tense sophisticated draftsmanship typical of Mannerism as well as the theatrical effects, movement, and deep feeling that anticipate the Baroque." – curator's notes from the Getty Museum Giulio Cesare Procaccini St Mary Magdalen with St John the Baptist and an Angel ca. 1600 oil on panel National Trust, Attingham Park, Shropshire Giulio Cesare Procaccini Bust of a woman ca. 1610-15 drawing British Museum Giulio Cesare Procaccini Head and Figure Studies ca. 1612 drawing Getty Museum, Los Angeles Giulio Cesare Procaccini Cupid ca. 1615-20 oil on canvas (fragment) Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh Giulio Cesare Procaccini Coronation of the Virgin with St Joseph and St Francis of Assisi ca. 1604-1607 oil on panel Getty Museum, Los Angeles Giulio Cesare Procaccini Dead Christ with Angels ca. 1615-16 oil on paper, mounted on panel (modello for lunette) University of Edinburgh Giulio Cesare Procaccini Mocking of Christ ca. 1617 oil on canvas Museums Sheffield, Yorkshire Giulio Cesare Procaccini Scourging of Christ ca. 1615-18 oil on canvas Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Giulio Cesare Procaccini Raising of the Cross ca. 1615-20 oil on canvas Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh Giulio Cesare Procaccini Descent from the Cross - Mary Magdalen, St Augustine, St Jerome & Angels ca. 1618 oil on canvas Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
