"The Rape of Helene" (1530-39) is a significant fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Francesco Primaticcio, a prominent figure of the School of Fontainebleau, which played a crucial role in introducing Italian Renaissance art and ideals to France. This artwork is part of Primaticcio's broader contribution to the decoration of the Château de Fontainebleau, commissioned by King François I of France, who sought to enhance the palace's aesthetics with the elegance and grandeur of Italian Renaissance art.

The fresco depicts the mythological event of the abduction of Helen of Troy, a theme popular in Renaissance art for its dramatic and emotional potential, as well as its opportunity to explore complex human expressions and interactions. Primaticcio's rendition is celebrated for its dynamic composition, elegant figures, and the sophisticated use of color and form, which exemplify the artist's mastery in blending Italian Renaissance techniques with the French artistic tradition.

Primaticcio's work at Fontainebleau, including "The Rape of Helene," significantly influenced the development of the French Renaissance style, introducing a new level of artistic sophistication that would resonate through the arts in France. His frescoes are noted for their narrative clarity, emotional depth, and the seamless integration of architectural elements with pictorial space, characteristics that have cemented Primaticcio's legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of European art.

"The Rape of Helene" not only exemplifies Primaticcio's skill and artistic vision but also serves as a testament to the cultural exchange between Italy and France during the Renaissance, highlighting the role of art in the diplomatic and cultural ambitions of the French court. Through this work, Primaticcio contributed to the rich tapestry of Renaissance art, leaving a lasting impact on the visual culture of his time.
