"Nicolò dell'Abate was the third of the Italian founders of the so-called school of Fontainebleau. These painters were employed in the decoration of the Château of Fontainebleau, the main country residence of the kings of France in the 16th century. At Fontainebleau Nicolò was chiefly occupied painting fresco decorations, under the supervision of Francesco Primaticcio, who had earlier collaborated with Rosso Fiorentino. Their form of courtly Mannerism was one of the main influences on the Mannerist painters of northern Europe."
