The statue of St. Proclus (1494–1495) was created by Michelangelo out of marble. Its height is 58.5 cm. It is situated in the Basilica of San Domenico, Bologna. Its subject is Saint Proculus (Proculus), a martyr of Bologna.
Michelangelo may have been influenced by the statue of St. Vitalis made by Niccolò dell'Arca, and possibly also by the work of Ercole de' Roberti and Francesco del Cossa. The statue of St. Proclus shares much in composition with Michelangelo's later David.[1][2]
