Cephalus and Procis is a 1580s painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese.

It is likewise a depiction of a tragic couple from Ovid's Metamorphoses: the painting depicts the moment where Procris expires, as her confused husband Cephalus tries both to understand her and to explain himself.

[2] Cephalus and Procris belonged to the Spanish royal collection from 1641 (when Diego Velázquez bought it in Venice) until at least 1809.

It was one of the paintings plundered from the collection by Joseph Bonaparte during his brief rule of Spain.

It was sold several times after his death and finally bought for the museum by Wilhelm von Bode in Berlin in 1912.
