"François I and Leonardo da Vinci" is an oil painting by the French artist Alexandre Évariste Fragonard, completed circa 1819. The painting depicts a historical encounter between François I, the King of France from 1515 to 1547, and the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, who lived from 1452 to 1519. This meeting is emblematic of the Renaissance period, during which arts and sciences flourished under the patronage of powerful rulers such as François I.

In the painting, Fragonard illustrates a moment of intellectual exchange and mutual respect between the monarch and the artist, who was also a scientist and engineer. François I, known for his patronage of the arts and acquisition of numerous works by Italian masters, including Leonardo's, is often credited with inviting Leonardo to France. Leonardo spent the last years of his life in the country, bringing with him several of his masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa.

The artwork by Fragonard is a romanticized representation of this relationship, capturing the essence of the Renaissance spirit. It is part of a broader tradition of 19th-century French art that sought to glorify France's historical past and cultural achievements. The painting is significant for its portrayal of a pivotal moment when French art was heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance ideas and aesthetics, a legacy that continued to shape European art for centuries.

Alexandre Évariste Fragonard, the son of the renowned Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, was an accomplished artist in his own right. His work, "François I and Leonardo da Vinci," reflects the 19th-century fascination with historical subjects and contributes to the visual narrative of France's rich cultural heritage. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum, Paris, which is fitting given that the museum also contains many of the artworks that were collected by François I, including those by Leonardo da Vinci.
