"Mercury Surprises Mars and Venus" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Mannerist painter Francesco Primaticcio (1504–1570). This artwork is a significant example of Primaticcio's contribution to the School of Fontainebleau, where he was a prominent figure in introducing Italian Renaissance art to France. The fresco depicts a scene from classical mythology where Mercury, the messenger of the gods, catches Mars, the god of war, and Venus, the goddess of love, in a clandestine embrace.

The composition of "Mercury Surprises Mars and Venus" is notable for its dynamic arrangement and the elegant elongation of the figures, characteristic of the Mannerist style. Primaticcio's use of vibrant colors and his skillful rendering of the human form demonstrate his mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey narrative through visual art.

Commissioned by King Francis I of France for the Château de Fontainebleau, the fresco adorned the walls of this royal residence, contributing to the lavish decoration that made the château a center of artistic excellence. Primaticcio's work at Fontainebleau, including this fresco, greatly influenced French art and helped establish the Fontainebleau School, which blended Italian and French artistic traditions.

"Mercury Surprises Mars and Venus" not only exemplifies Primaticcio's artistic prowess but also reflects the cultural exchanges between Italy and France during the Renaissance. The fresco remains an important piece in the study of 16th-century European art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
