"Apollo and Pan" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Mannerist artist Francesco Primaticcio (1504–1570). Primaticcio, a prominent figure of the School of Fontainebleau, was instrumental in introducing Italian Renaissance art to France. This particular work is part of a series of frescoes that adorned the walls of the Château de Fontainebleau, which served as a royal residence for French monarchs.

The fresco depicts a mythological scene involving Apollo, the god of music, light, and the arts, and Pan, the rustic god of the wild, shepherds, and flocks. According to Greek mythology, Apollo and Pan engaged in a musical contest, with Apollo playing the lyre and Pan the panpipes. The contest, judged by the mountain god Tmolus, ended in Apollo's favor, emphasizing the superiority of the refined music of the lyre over the rustic sounds of the panpipes.

Primaticcio's "Apollo and Pan" is celebrated for its elegant composition and the graceful figures that embody the Mannerist style's preference for elongated proportions and sophisticated poses. The fresco reflects the artist's mastery of form and his ability to convey narrative through expressive gestures and interactions between characters.

Commissioned by King Francis I of France, Primaticcio's work at Fontainebleau was part of a larger project to renovate and embellish the palace with Italian Renaissance art and culture. The frescoes, including "Apollo and Pan," played a crucial role in the development of the Fontainebleau School, which blended Italian and French artistic traditions and had a lasting influence on European art.

Today, "Apollo and Pan" is recognized as a significant example of Primaticcio's contribution to the arts and the cultural exchange between Italy and France during the Renaissance. While the original frescoes have suffered damage over time, they remain a testament to the grandeur of the Château de Fontainebleau and the enduring legacy of Francesco Primaticcio's artistry.
