TEMPORAry exhibition at château de fontainebleau !
"Le roi et l'artiste (The King and the Artist). François I of France and Rosso Fiorentino."
23 March - 24 June 2013.
Access to this temporary exhibit is allowed with the PARIS MUSEUM PASS at no extra charges.

Between 1530 and 1540, Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (1494-1540), nicknamed Rosso Fiorentino, created several pieces for Fontainebleau.

Here, original decorative ideas are developed - above sculpted wood panelling fresco paintings are set in a prominent framework, combining stucco and paint.
