RENÉ D'ANJOU, surnamed the Good,
born in castle of Angers in 1408, died in
Provence in 1480. French school; illuminator,
painter, poet, and patron of arts;
second son of Louis II., Duke of Anjou,
Comte de Provence and titular King of Naples.
Summonzio, the Neapolitan writer,
says that King René was a good painter in
the Flemish style, but several pictures attributed
to him are now shown to be by
another hand; as, for example, the famous
Triptych with the Burning Bush, etc., in the
Cathedral at Aix, a work of Nicolas Froment
of Avignon (1475), who was in King René's
employ; and another Triptych by the same
hand in the Uffizi. The illuminated MS. of
"La tres douce mercy" (1497), at Vienna,
is admitted to be the King's handiwork.
Many pictures attributed to him in churches
at Aix, Angers, Lyons, Avignon, and Marseilles,
were destroyed during the revolution.
