This colourful design is probably by an artist who was working in the circle of the Florentine Rosso Fiorentino at Fontainebleau. It was undoubtedly intended for one of the many chateaux that were built or renovated in France in the mid-sixteenth century, and is a reminder of the colourful nature of
interior decoration in this period.
