“The exhibition highlights the two major artists invited to France by Francis I - the Florentine Rosso and the Bolognese Primatice - but differs from exhibitions devoted to their drawings or to the Fontainebleau worksite in its focus on the engravers who were associated with them on site, and who were not only skilful interpreters of the compositions of these two masters, but also inventors of forms and experimenters with the new etching technique, which they profoundly renewed.”

Éric de Chassey, Director, Beaux-Arts de Paris


A catalog accompanies the exhibition, with texts by Hélène Gasnault and Giulia Longo, the exhibition's co-curators, Luisa Capodieci, Professor of Modern Art History and member of the Château de Fontainebleau's Scientific Council, and Dominique Cordellier, Honorary General Curator of Heritage.
