Francesco Salviati, 1510 – November 11, 1563, was an Italian painter and draftsman born Francesco de’ Rossi in Florence. He trained successively with Giuliano Bugiardini, Baccio Bandinelli, Raffaele Brescianino, and Andrea del Sarto, and formed a lasting friendship with Giorgio Vasari.
Salviati went to Rome in 1531 and adopted the name of his patron, Cardinal Giovanni Salviati. He worked in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Bologna, producing fresco cycles, altarpieces, portraits, drawings, and tapestry designs; his principal commissions included decorations in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.
Salviati spent much of his later career in Rome and died there in 1563. His works are held by the Uffizi Gallery, Louvre Museum, National Museum of Capodimonte, Morgan Library & Museum, Toledo Museum of Art, and other major collections.
