French school ; illumi- nator, painter, poet, and patron of arts ; second son of Louis IE., Duke of Anjou, Comte de Provence and titular King of Na- ples. Summonzio, the Neapolitan writer, says that King Reno was a good painter in the Flemish style, but several pictures at- tributed 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 Rene'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 Mar- seilles, were destroyed during the revolution. Works attributed to King Rene : Diptych, Vision of S. Bernardino of Siena, Coronation of Virgin, Hospital at Villeneuve ; Praying Cardinal, Avignon Museum ; Portraits of Charles VH., and Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy.
