Author: Giulio Pippi (1499-1546), known as Giulio ROMANO and in French as Jules Romain, was an Italian painter and architect. He was a pupil of Raphael, and his stylistic deviations from High Renaissance classicism help define the sixteenth-century>
Author: Francesco PRIMATICCIO called in France "Le Primatice" (1504-1570) was an Italian Mannerist painter, architect and sculptor who spent most of his career in France. Born in Bologna, he trained under Giulio ROMANO in Mantova, executing decorations at the Palazzo Te (Te Palace) before securing a position in the court of Francis I of France in 1532. Together with Rosso Fiorentino (1494-1540) he was one of the leading artists to work at the Chateau Fontainebleau (where he is grouped with the so-called "First School of Fontainebleau") spending much of his life there. Following Rosso's death in 1540, Primaticcio took control of the artistic direction at Fontainebleau, furnishing the painters and stuccators of his team, such as Nicolò dell'Abate, with designs. He made cartoons for tapestry-weavers and, like all 16th-century court artists, was called upon to design elaborate ephemeral decorations for masques and fêtes, which survive only in preparatory drawings and, sometimes, engravings. Primaticcio retained his position as court painter to Francis' heirs, Henry II and Francis II. His masterpiece, the Salle d'Hercule at Fontainebleau, occupied him and his team from the 1530s to 1559. Primaticcio's crowded Mannerist compositions and his long-legged canon of beauty influenced French art for the rest of the century.

Author: Antoinette Bouzonnet-STELLA was a French engraver and painter born in Lyon in 1641 and died on October 20, 1676 in Paris. She was the daughter of Étienne Bouzonnet, goldsmith in Lyon, and Madeleine Stella, sister of Jacques Stella, ordinary painter to the king. She had two brothers and two sisters: Claudine (1636-1697), Françoise (1638-1692), Antoine (1637-1682) and Sébastien (1644-1662). His uncle Jacques Stella, established with his sister Madeleine and his brother-in-law Étienne Bouzonnet a real family workshop in his home in the Louvre. All the siblings will be introduced to painting and engraving by their uncle, and each will add Stella's name to theirs. Despite the restrictions imposed at that time on women in art academies, Antoinette was able to receive private training thanks to the eminent social status of her family and in particular that of her uncle Jacques Stella. His engravings generally depict biblical scenes or from antiquity.
