PRIMATICCIO, Francesco
(b. 1504, Bologna, d. 1570, Paris)

Ceres

1552-56
Drawing
Musée Condé, Chantilly

This is a preparatory drawing for the Salle de Bal in Fontainebleau. Here Primaticcio has been visibly inspired by the example of Raphael's decorations in the Villa Farnesina, the classic models for decoration within the difficult space of a spandrel.
