Froment, Nicolas (c. 1430–c. 1484)

French artist, active in Avignon. Two documented works by Froment survive, both important altarpieces: The Resurrection of Lazarus (1461, Uffizi, Florence) painted for René of Anjou and Mary in the Burning Bush (1475–76, Cathedral of St-Sauveur, Aix-en-Provence). These works demonstrate an awareness of trends in both Flemish and Italian art.

Originally from Uzès in Languedoc, Froment was active chiefly in Avignon where he and Enguerrand Charonton developed a distinctive style of painting during the 1450s.

The Resurrection of Lazarus includes portraits of his patron René of Anjou and his wife.
