# History of Paul III [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SALVIATI, Cecchino del]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary At almost exactly the same time as the Medici cycles in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, the family cycles of the Farnese were painted in Rome and Latium. Vasari's fresco of the deeds of Paul III in the Sala dei Cento Giorni of the Palazzo della Cancellaria, Rome, is the first large Farnese cycle. However, the dynastic themes of the Farnese are not unfolded in full until Salviati's later frescoes in the Palazzo Farnese, which juxtapose the deeds of the older Farnese with those of Paul III. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Peace Burning Arms]() - [Bathsheba Bathing \(detail\)]() - [Bathsheba Bathing \(detail\)]() - [Bathsheba Bathing \(detail\)]() - [Charity \(detail\)]() - [Charity]() - [Christ Carrying the Cross]() - [Coronation of the Virgin with Angels]() - [Design for a Ewer]() - [Design for the fresco cycle]() - [General view]() - [General view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
