Légende
The Beaucousin Collection at the National Gallery - "Charity", by F. Salviati, 1860. Engraving of a painting. 'The most recent accession to our National Gallery, at least of those which have been exposed to public scrutiny, is the collection of thirty-one pictures purchased last year from M. Edmond Beaucousin, at Paris, for some £5000 or £6000, we do not recollect the exact amount. The "Charity" by Salviati, a Florentine by birth (b. 1510, d. 1563), contrasts remarkably by the boldness displayed in its motive and grouping with the more modest work of Francia, and betrays that studied imitation of Michael Angelo in which the Roman school at this period unrestrainedly indulged. This is the only specimen of the master in the National Collection'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
