# Charity \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SALVIATI, Cecchino del]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on wood ## Commentary The Charity is perhaps the most impressive independent painting of Salviati's Florentine period, and an accurate marker of the abilities of this generally quite uneven easel painter. In this panel he filled the space with bodies set fairly close to the picture plane while allowing the figures sufficient room for complex movements. The formal sophistication achieved by Salviati is exceedingly elaborate in its treatment of volumes. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Peace Burning Arms]() - [Bathsheba Bathing \(detail\)]() - [Bathsheba Bathing \(detail\)]() - [Bathsheba Bathing \(detail\)]() - [Charity]() - [Christ Carrying the Cross]() - [Coronation of the Virgin with Angels]() - [Design for a Ewer]() - [Design for the fresco cycle]() - [General view]() - [General view]() - [History of Paul III \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
