Le Bain de Diane
Le Bain de Diane (The Bath of Diana) is a French 1550s painting attributed to François Clouet, located in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen.[1] According to Eckhardt Knab, writing in The Dictionary of Art, it is an example of an allegorical landscape and refers to the marriage of Francis II and Mary Stuart. Clouet's painting reveals influences by, but tempers the overdrawn Mannerist bodily forms of several artists of the School of Fontainebleau, such as Rosso Fiorentino, Francesco Primaticcio, and Nicolo dell'Abate, and its landscape reflects the work of Giorgione and early Titian.[2]
