What is nymph of fontainebleau?

The Nymph of Fontainebleau is a painting created by Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in 1752-1753. The painting depicts a nymph, a mythological creature from Greek mythology who is often associated with nature, beauty, and fertility. In the painting, the nymph is depicted as a young woman, half-draped in fabric, and surrounded by lush foliage and flowers.

The painting is part of a larger series of works created by Tiepolo for the Château de Fontainebleau, a royal palace in France. The series was commissioned by Louis XV and his mistress, Madame de Pompadour, to decorate the palace's grand staircase.

The Nymph of Fontainebleau is considered one of Tiepolo's finest works and is noted for its vibrant colors, elegant composition, and expressive brushwork. The painting reflects Tiepolo's interest in the classical world and his ability to capture the spirit of mythological subjects.

Today, the painting is on display at the Musée national du château de Fontainebleau in Fontainebleau, France.
