"Cefalo e Procri" is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian artist Giuseppe Nuvolone, also known as Giuseppe Nuvoloni. The work depicts the tragic mythological story of Cephalus (Cefalo) and Procris (Procri), a tale of love, jealousy, and misunderstanding from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The painting is a Baroque interpretation of the classical theme, showcasing Nuvolone's skill in capturing human emotion and the dramatic intensity of the moment.

In the myth, Cephalus, a hunter, is married to Procris, a nymph. Their story is marred by mistrust and a tragic accident, which Nuvolone captures in his work. The painting likely illustrates the moment of Procris's death, where, according to the myth, she is accidentally killed by Cephalus, who mistakes her for an animal while hunting. The composition emphasizes the emotional climax, with Cephalus's horror and Procris's agony being central themes.

Nuvolone was part of a family of painters and was active in Milan and surrounding areas. His work is characterized by the use of rich colors, dynamic compositions, and a keen interest in the depiction of light and shadow, all of which are evident in "Cefalo e Procri." The painting is an example of the Baroque style's focus on dramatic narratives and the exploration of complex human emotions.

While the exact date of creation for "Cefalo e Procri" is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the mid-17th century, a period when Nuvolone was at the height of his artistic career.
