Master of Fontainebleau
School of Fontainebleau was a group of 16th-century artists, mostly Italian painters, that on invitation of French king Francis I decorated the royal palace at Fontainebleau (1530-1560). In the intimacy of the Fountainebleau castle, produced the so called 'mannerism of Fontainebleau School', in spite of the severe catholic censorship of the representations of the nude body, strange erotic scenes usually cloaked as allegories or mythological motives.
The so called 'second School of Fontainebleau', emerged under French king Henry IV (1553-1610), was an eclectic revival of the first school.
