Fontainebleau. Style of architectural decoration at the French Royal
Château created by Italian (notably Rosso Fiorentino (1495–1540), Francesco Primaticcio (1504/5–70),
Serlio, and
Vignola), French, and Flemish artists for
François Ier from 1528 to 1558. It was an eclectic mutation of
High Renaissance design into a distinct form of
Mannerism featuring lavish
cartouches,
caryatides,
grotesques,
scrolls,
strapwork, and etiolated
stucco figures. Fontainebleau influenced French design until the end of C16, but the style was widely disseminated through printed sources emanating from Antwerp, and influenced
Flemish Mannerism and architecture in England, Germany, and The Netherlands.
