SALVIATI, Cecchino del
(b. 1510, Firenze, d. 1563, Roma)

St Bartholomew

1550
Fresco
Oratorio di San Giovanni Decollato, Rome

Salviati painted the figure of St Bartholomew to the right of Jacopino del Conte's altarpiece in the oratory. At the time he painted the two figures flanking the altarpiece, Salviati was above all interested in bulky individual figures reflecting his admiration for Michelangelo.
