Francesco Salviati (1510–1563) was a famous Italian artist. His real name was Francesco de' Rossi, but he was often called "Il Salviati." He was known for his unique style of art called Mannerism.
Mannerism was a style of art that came after the High Renaissance. Artists who used this style often painted figures with long, elegant bodies and sometimes unusual poses. They focused on showing emotion and movement in their artwork. Salviati was a master of this style. He created many beautiful paintings and frescoes (wall paintings) in churches and palaces across Italy. His work helped shape the art of his time.
