Anonymous, French, School of Fontainebleau, 16th century
Anonymous, French, of the School of Fontainebleau, belongs to the sixteenth-century printmakers associated with that courtly style, working above all in etching and taking religious narrative as a frequent subject. The present holdings comprise two etchings, both dated 1540, impressions of which may extend into later printings. Their shared title, The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, points to the Gospel scene that anchors this small group within the collection's Renaissance French material.
