Anonymous, School of Fontainebleau

Anonymous, School of Fontainebleau, is associated with the French Mannerist current centred on the palace of Fontainebleau, and the sheets here work in etching rather than the more familiar drawing and fresco media of that circle. The subject matter is sculptural and mythological: the two impressions reproduce, after Polidoro da Caravaggio, the statue of Niobe with her worshippers alongside Apollo and Diana. Both sheets in this collection are etchings, dated 1543 in the Met's records, though impressions may be later printings.
