Don't be fooled by the name; the "School of Fontainebleau" wasn't a place with desks and detention. Instead, it was the lavish artistic movement that erupted when King Francis I brought Italian artists to France in the 16th century to decorate his palace at Fontainebleau. These artists, including Rosso Fiorentino and Primaticcio, introduced the elegant, and frankly, racy style of Italian Mannerism. The look? Think mythological figures with impossibly long limbs, mysterious allegories, and a healthy dose of eroticism. Rumor has it that the artists engaged in "nymph-stretching" contests to see who could paint the most elongated figure, but that's likely just gossip. This "school" is known for its peculiar masterpieces, like *Gabrielle d'Estrées and One of Her Sisters*, a painting that proves high art can also be sublimely weird.
