The ''Nymph of Fontainebleau'' is a renowned sculpture created by the Italian artist Benvenuto Cellini during the Renaissance period. Commissioned by King Francis I of France, this work was intended to adorn the Château de Fontainebleau, one of the king's favorite residences and a hub of artistic activity during his reign. The sculpture is a testament to the Mannerist style, which was characterized by elongated forms, complex compositions, and an emphasis on grace and sophistication over the more balanced and harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance.

Cellini, born in Florence in 1500, was a goldsmith, sculptor, and writer, famous for his virtuosity in metalwork as well as his larger-than-life bronze and marble sculptures. The ''Nymph of Fontainebleau'' is particularly significant as it reflects the artist's skill in creating dynamic and sensual figures that capture the spirit of Mannerism. The nymph, often depicted as an alluring and semi-divine female figure associated with nature, is a fitting subject for the opulent and cultured environment of Fontainebleau.

The exact date of the sculpture's creation is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced during Cellini's stay at the French court between 1540 and 1545. Unfortunately, the original sculpture has not survived to the present day, and knowledge of its design and composition is primarily derived from written descriptions, sketches, and engravings made after the work. These sources suggest that the ''Nymph of Fontainebleau'' was a highly detailed and ornate piece, embodying the artistic ideals of the French Renaissance and the personal style of Cellini.

The loss of the original sculpture means that contemporary audiences can only imagine its full splendor through the lens of historical context and the remaining visual and textual records. Nonetheless, the ''Nymph of Fontainebleau'' continues to be celebrated as a significant piece of Renaissance art and a notable example of Cellini's mastery in sculptural form. Its legacy contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and France during the 16th century, as well as the broader development of European art during this transformative period.
