This monograph examines the iconographic program of the Galerie François Ier at the Château de Fontainebleau, one of the defining monuments of French Renaissance art. Drawing on Panofsky's method of reading images through symbols, sources, and intellectual context, it traces how the gallery's painted and stucco decoration translates humanist, mythological, and courtly ideas into a coherent visual scheme. The study situates the gallery within the artistic patronage of François I and the broader circulation of Italian Renaissance forms in France, while attending to the relationships between image, inscription, architecture, and political self-representation. Presented as a focused scholarly work, it is useful for readers interested in Renaissance iconography, court culture, and the transformation of Fontainebleau into a center of artistic innovation.
