Carlo Donelli is known as 'Il Vimercati', after the Lombard town of Vimercate from which his family is thought to have originated. A pupil of Ercole Procaccini the Younger (1596-1676), he gained a considerable reputation as a painter in Milan. He was a member of the Accademia Ambrosiana and of the Accademia di San Luca and most of his commissions were for churches in and around Milan. Today very few of his paintings survive, while his drawings are more numerous. In her 2007 article, Angelica Poggi lists 88 drawings by the artist of which 66 in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan (A. Poggi, op. cit.). Another nude study from the Heinemann collection was sold at the 1997 Christie's sale, lot 69. It has been suggested that both are studies for a Dead Christ.
