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. Works attributed to King René: Diptych, Vision of S. Bernardino of Siena, Coronation of Virgin, Hospital at Villeneuve; Praying Cardinal, Avignon Museum; Portraits of Charles VII., and Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy.—W. & W., ii. 78; Schnaase, viii. 321; Müntz, La Renaissance, 481; Michiels, iii. 187; Œuvres complètes du Roi René avec une biographie (Angers, 1845).
