Francesco de' Rossi (1510–1563) was an Florentine Mannerist painter who lived and worked mainly in Florence, but also produced several works 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 in Florence. He apprenticed under Giuliano Bugiardini, Baccio Bandinelli, Raffaele Brescianino, and finally Andrea del Sarto in 1529–30. In 1531 he traveled to Rome, where he met another Bandinelli pupil, Giorgio Vasari, and helped to 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 (1533–35). 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''〔(''Visitation'' in ''San Giovanni Decollato'' )〕 for the ''Oratory of San Giovanni Decollato'', a Florentine fraternity ministering to persons who had been condemned to execution. Salviati 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.〔(St Louis Museum, ''Salviati'' )〕〔(Francesco Salviati (Getty Museum) )〕〔(Portrait of a Gentleman )〕 In 1543 Salviati returned to Florence. Working for Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, he completed a fresco decoration eulogizing the Medici family (''Triumph of Camillus'' in the ''Sala dell'Udienza'' of the Palazzo Vecchio, 1543–45). 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 1547-48. This theme, one which became a master oeuvre 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''〔(''Bathsheba'' for Palazzo Sacchetti )〕), and in Palazzo Farnese. He died in Rome. The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Courtauld Institute of Art (London), the Getty Museum, Harvard University Art Museums, the Hermitage Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Liechtenstein Museum (Vienna), the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museo Poldi Pezzoli (Milan), Museum der bildenden Künste (Leipzig), the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.), Pinacoteca di Brera (Milan), Ringling Museum of Art (Florida), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, and the Saint Louis Art Museum are among the public collections holding paintings by Francesco de' Rossi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francesco de' Rossi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
