Between 1530 and 1540, Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (1494-1540), nicknamed Rosso Fiorentino, created several pieces for Fontainebleau. Only one of the pieces has survived, which can be found in the Francis I Gallery. Here, original decorative ideas are developed - above sculpted wood panelling fresco paintings are set in a prominent framework, combining stucco and paint.
