Camillo Procaccini began his training in the 1570s in the workshop of his father, Ercole the Elder, in Bologna.  In Rome in the 1580s Camillo studied the established Renaissance masters, but was chiefly influenced by the Mannerism of Taddeo Zuccaro (1529-1566).  After returning to Bologna, Camillo Procaccini began a long and busy career, chiefly of church commissions for paintings and frescoes in the spirit of the Counter-Reformation.  Eventually he joined his father and younger brothers in Milan, where the family settled and established a painting academy in the 1590s.
