The Procaccini and the Business of Painting in Early Modern Milan

The novelty of Angelo Lo Conte’s book lies in its approach to the study of the Procaccini brothers’ careers which are analysed for the very first time through a socio-economic framework, interconnecting Camillo (1551-1629), Carlo Antonio (1555-1630) and Giulio Cesare’s (1574-1625) individual stories and understanding their success as the combination of family strategy, workshop practice and busi- ness organisation. The book investigates the practical reasons that prompted the Procaccini to leave Bologna between the end of 1587 and beginning of 1588 and relocate to Milan as well as the strategies enacted by the family members to settle in the new city. In doing so, the volume moves away from a focus on the individ- ual brothers (especially Giulio Cesare, the most talented and widely collected artist of the three brothers) that appear in previous studies on the Procaccini and enclo- ses Camillo, Carlo Antonio, and Giulio Cesare’s careers in a narrative that empha- sises their achievements as painters and entrepreneurs.
