Purification of the Virgin 1563

Francesco Salviati, also known as "Cecchino", completed "Purification of the Virgin" in 1563, just a year before his death. The painting, likely a fresco, depicts a scene from the life of the Virgin Mary, where she is being cleansed after the birth of Jesus, in accordance with Jewish tradition. This work is characteristic of Salviati's late style, with a strong sense of movement and dramatic composition. The figures are expressive and the composition is dynamic, with a complex arrangement of figures and spaces. The painting's location and dimensions are currently unknown.
