Resumen de Carlo Antonio Procaccini pittore di nature morte
The author presents a rare and unpublished Floral Wreath with Christ and the Woman of Samaria by Carlo Antonio Procaccini, whose artistic identity remains undefined in certain respects, partly because of the very limited number of autograph works, which currently comprise little more than a dozen paintings. This perfectly-preserved panel is an important addition to the still lifes produced by the master, and is datable to about 1620/1625, close to the Floral Wreath with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt formerly with Trafalgar Galleries in London, which bears the inscription "C. An. Porchacini" on its back, and with which it shares the same compositional scheme and the use of models for some of the flowers.
