From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
In the 1530s, the Italian artist Rosso Primaticcio was sent by the French king Francis I to Rome. There, Rosso studied classical sculpture and monuments, which he reproduced in his drawings and casts. These works by Rosso had a significant impact on Fontainebleau School's printmakers, such as Antonio Fantuzzi and Léon Davent. Here in this etching, Davent reproduces a picturesque landscape filled with ruined classical monuments and populated by playful putti.
