Tra poesia e pittura: versi di Francesco Zannio per Giuseppe Salviati
Biffis, Mattia
2013
Abstract
Giuseppe Salviati, the painter Tuscan by birth but active in Venice between 1540 and 1575, is known for his
remarkable achievements in the mathematics and astrology, and for his close connection with notable men of
letters, humanists and literati. This article outlines his relationship with Francesco Zannio, a little-known
but highly prolific poet and the author of an ecfrasis of Salviati’s paintings in Palazzo Ducale published in
1567. His corpus of poems is now increased by a newly rediscovered latin eulogy dedicated to Salviati, which
praises his virtuosity and commends his mastery as a painter.
