Salviati's works, such as his decorations for the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, were characteristic of the mannerist style in their extreme complexity, display of chiaroscuro technique, elongated figures and spatial and pictorial ambivalence.
In 1538 Salviati was engaged to join his recently arrived compatriot, Jacopino, in beginning a fresco decoration of the Oratory of S. Giovanni Decollato, a Florentine establishment in Rome of which the purpose was the charity of consoling prisoners condemned to execution.
Salviati's initial contribution, the Visitation (dated 1538), is visibly not yet entirely mature, but the high creative intelligence it shows and the symptoms in it of a new phase of Maniera mark a clear stage in the accomplishment in Rome of high Maniera style.
Salviati was born Francesco Rossi in Florence in 1510.
Salviati makes the statue of Juno a focus of his narrative in the Triumph of Camillus and has emphasised this fable of the statue being life-like and able to speak by representing her as an animated figure who seems to turn toward Camillus from their lofty positions above the crowds.
Salviati's narrative scenes accumulate the most learned and elaborate battery of archaeological reminiscence, as if for the edification of the Florentines who had not the advantage of a Roman education, and they are framed by allegories, no less learned, of almost hieroglyphic abstruseness.
