Francesco de' Rossi (1510–1563) was a painter and designer, one of the leading Mannerist fresco painters of the Florentine-Roman school. Salviati studied and worked with Andrea del Sarto and in about 1531 was called by Cardinal Giovanni Salviati (from whom he took his surname) to work in Rome. He later worked for several ecclesiastical and aristocratic patrons in Florence, Venice, Bologna, and Rome. Among his most notable frescoes are those executed for the Sala dell’ Udienza (1544–48) of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and those in the Farnese Palace in Rome (1555).

Francesco Salviati was born in 1510 in Florence, Italy. He was a member of the Mannerist school of painting, known for its exaggerated forms and dramatic compositions. Salviati's style was strongly influenced by the work of Michelangelo and Raphael. Salviati began his career as a painter in Florence, where he worked on frescoes in the Palazzo Vecchio and the Palazzo Pitti. He later moved to Rome, where he worked for Pope Julius III and painted frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Salviati was known for his skilful use of colour and his ability to create complex compositions. He often depicted scenes from classical mythology and the Bible, and his works are characterised by their dramatic intensity and emotional power. Salviati died in Rome in 1563 at the age of 53. His work had a significant influence on the development of Mannerist painting in Italy and he is considered one of the most important artists of the period.
