| Keywords: Francesco Salviati - Portrait of a Young Man - Walters 371105.jpg It is likely that this portrait was cut from a larger composition as the edges of the circular canvas show no signs of having been stretched or tacked down The original picture would therefore not have been a tondo circular image as it is now but a larger rectangular picture The unidentified sitter's black costume was fashionable in 16th-century Italy The portrait was probably executed by Salviati when he was in Florence working for Duke Cosimo de' Medici in the Palazzo Vecchio He is best known for his depictions of historical or religious subjects but he was also a fine interpreter of the human face For more information on this tondo please see Federico Zeri Italian Paintings in the Walters Art Gallery 1976 no 214 pp 330-331 between 1510 1563 Renaissance Oil on canvas Painted surface Diam cm 41 accession number 37 1105 32814 Don Marcello Massarenti Collection Rome Henry Walters city Baltimore Walters Art Museum Henry Walters Acquired by Henry Walters with the Massarenti Collection 1902 place of origin Florence Italy Walters Art Museum license Renaissance portrait paintings in the Walters Art Museum Italian Renaissance paintings in the Walters Art Museum Portrait paintings by Francesco Salviati | ||||
