The Crucifixion

Giuseppe Salviati (Giuseppe Porta, called Il Salviati) Italian

Not on view

The artist Giuseppe Salviati had been a student of the famed Mannerist Francesco Salviati (1510-1563), from whom he took his name, replacing "Porta." Giuseppe designed and quite possibly cut the block for this signed woodcut, which may be related to his painting of the same subject once in the Palazzo Ducale, Venice. On June 30, 1556, Giovanni Ostaus was granted the privilege to publish both this woodcut, which was initially issued with surrounding text, and a needlework pattern book, for which the Lucretia, displayed nearby, served as a frontispiece.
