Portrait of a Young Man
by SALVIATI, Cecchino del, Oil on panel, 89 x 69 cm
This painting, dating from Salviati’s second Roman period, after 1548, manifests the essential characteristics of Mannerism. The language of Mannerism is revealed in a new, elongated ideal figure and an inclination towards emphatic and often slightly artificial gestures. Salviati’s painting shows the influence of Parmigianino.
