Fontainebleau

a city in France, south of Paris, in the department of Seine-et-Marne. Population, 19,600 (1975). Industries include machine building and the production of porcelain.

Fontainebleau was the oldest country residence of the French kings. The most important part of the complex is the palace, built during the reign of Francis I (begun 1527; architects, G. Le Breton and P. Chambiges). In the 1530’s and 1540’s, ornamental work was done on the palace, including the gallery of Francis I and Henry II. The Italian masters F. Primaticcio and G. B. Rosso, the founders of the first Fontainebleau school, were involved in the decorative work; they developed decorative motifs that became hallmarks of French mannerism and combined them with an abundance of carved panels, ornamental friezes, and sculpted and painted decorations. The construction and alteration of the interiors continued during the reign of Henry II (who employed the architect P. Delorme) and Henry IV and was carried on right up to the Napoleonic period. Fontainebleau was the site of Napoleon’s abdication in 1814. Today it is a national museum. The palace park and the forests surrounding Fontainebleau are popular recreation areas for Parisians.
