The Muses at the Foot of Mt. Parnassus. Artist: Antonio Fantuzzi (Italian, active France, 1537-45); After Francesco Primaticcio (Italian, Bologna 1504/5-1570 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet (trimmed): 9 15/16 × 15 5/16 in. (25.2 × 38.9 cm). Date: 1540-45.In its rough execution, claustrophobic composition, and stylized, attenuated figures, this print is characteristic of the school of printmaking that arose at Fontainebleau, the palace of Francis I (r. 1515-47) outside Paris. Fantuzzi was apparently called to Fontainebleau to assist his fellow Bolognese Francesco Primaticcio, who was frescoing the walls of the palace with tales of the ancient gods and heroes. There, Fantuzzi took up etching, producing more than one hundred prints after drawings by Primaticcio, Rosso Fiorentino, and others. There is no known model for this etching, however, which could be the etcher's own design. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Contest between Athena and Poseidon 1540-45 Antonio Fantuzzi Italian Together with Léon Davent, Jean Mignon, and the Master IV, Fantuzzi was one of four artists who worked at Fontainebleau during the three years of intense productivity, 1542-45, when so many etchings were produced after designs for the palace decoration. Of Bolognese origin, Fantuzzi was an assistant to his compatriot Primaticcio in the decoration of the palace (his name appears in the accounts from 1537 onward). Fantuzzi seems to have begun etching with little traininghis early works are marked by undisciplined hatching and a number of technical problems. However, he soon developed a more regular, although still quite free, style. This print, in which loose, graceful contours surround forms shaded by dense areas of crosshatching at the edges, yet largely untouched in the center, is characteristic of his style. The even distribution of dark and light over the surface undermines the sculptural presence of the lively an
