PRIMATICCIO, FRANCESCO, born in
Bologna in 1504,
died in Paris in
1570. Bolognese
school; pupil of
Innocenzo da
Imola and of
Bagnacavallo;
went in 1525 to
Mantua and assisted
Giulio Romano
in the Palazzo
del Tè and elsewhere. In 1531 he
went, on the invitation of Francis I., to
France, where he worked under Rosso in
the decoration of the Château at Fontainebleau.
He is said to have executed the first
stucco work and the first frescos of any account
in France. In 1540 he was sent by
the King to Italy to collect antiques and
works of art, but he was recalled the following
year to finish the works left by Rosso at
his death. His efforts were so satisfactory
that Francis made him (1544) abbot of St.
Martin de Troyes, which gave him a revenue
of 8,000 crowns. After the King's death
he continued in the royal service under
Henry II., Francis II., and Charles IX., and
executed many works with the aid of his
assistant, Niccolò dell' Abbate. Only a few
of his frescos at Fontainebleau are left, the
most important series, illustrating the Odyssey,
having been destroyed in 1738, when
the Gallery of Ulysses was pulled down.
Primaticcio also decorated the Châteaux of
Chantilly and of Beauregard, the pavilion
of Meudon, and other buildings with mural
paintings. Among his pictures in oil, which
are rare and none certain, are: Three Graces,
Czernin Gallery, Vienna; Continence of
Scipio, Louvre; Lady of Court of Francis
II. at her Toilette, Venus and Cupid (portrait
of Diana of Poitiers), Musée de Cluny;
