拍品專文

To our knowledge, only one other impression of this rare, large portrait François I (1494-1547) has been offered at auction within the last thirty years.
François I arguably established the intellectual and artistic ideas of the Italian renaissance in France, and was a supporter and patron of many artists from Italy, including Leonardo da Vinci, Andrea del Sarto, Benvenuto Cellini, Rosso Fiorentino, Giulio Romano and Primaticcio, some of whom worked on the decorations of his palace at Fontainebleau, where he also set up a printing workshop.
