Francesco de' Rossi (Il Salviati)

Francesco de' Rossi (Il Salviati)

Francesco de' Rossi (1510-1563) was an Italian Mannerist painter from Florence, also active in Rome. He is known by many names, prominently the adopted name Francesco Salviati or as Il Salviati, but also "Francesco Rossi" and "Cecchino del Salviati".

Biography

Salviati was born and died in Florence. He apprenticed under Giuliano Bugiardini, Baccio Bandinelli, Raffaele Brescianino, and finally Andrea del Sarto in 1529-1530. By 1531, he travels to Rome where he is met by his contemporary Bandinelli pupil, Giorgio Vasari, and helps complete the frescoes on the "Life of John the Baptist" in the Palazzo Salviati for the Cardinal Giovanni Salviati. It is from his attachment to this household that he took on the surname.

He frescoed an "Annunciation" in San Francesco a Ripa (1533-1535). His mature style has mannerist contortions and crowded scenes similar to the output of Giulio Romano. In 1538 he joined Jacopino del Conte in completing a fresco of the "Visitation" [ [http://www.wga.hu/html/s/salviati/visitati.html "Visitation" in "San Giovanni Decollato"] ] for in the "Oratory of San Giovanni Decollato", a Florentine fraternity ministering to those condemned to execution.

He painted in Bologna in 1540 alongside Vasari, and stayed for a brief time in Venice, where he frescoed decorations for the Palazzo Grimani in antique style. During this period his style shows the influences of Parmigianino. His many portrait paintings can sometimes be confused for Bronzino [http://stlouis.art.museum/emuseum/code/emuseum.asp?style=Browse&currentrecord=1&page=search&profile=objects&searchdesc=&quicksearch=Salviati] [ [http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artMakerDetails?maker=964&page=1 Francesco Salviati (Getty Museum) ] ] [ [http://www.wga.hu/html/s/salviati/gentlema.html Portrait of a Gentleman] ] .

By 1543, he returns to Florence, working for Cosimo I de' Medici, he completes a fresco decoration eulogizing the Medici family ("Triumph of Camillus" in the "Sala dell'Udienza" of the Palazzo Vecchio (1543-1545). He also designed tapestry cartoons for the recently established "Arazzeria", including "Ecce homo", "Resurrection", and "Joseph explains the Pharaoh's dreams". The latter commission was awarded after a competition, which pitted him against contemporary Florentine Mannerists, Bronzino and Pontormo. He painted a "Deposition" altarpiece for Santa Croce in 1547-1548. This theme, one which became a master ouvre topic for Late-Renaissance artists, is handled in a crowded complex fashion.

He often travelled to Rome between 1548 and 1563, to complete various fresco series, such as "Wedding of Canae" in the Oratory of the Piceni, a "Birth of John the Baptist" in the Oratory of "San Giovanni Decollato", in the Palazzo della Cancelleria (Pallium Cappella), in the Palazzo Sacchetti ("History of David" [ [http://www.wga.hu/html/s/salviati/bathsheb.html "Bathsheba" for Palazzo Sacchetti] ] ), and in Palazzo Farnese.
