Nicolas Froment (c. 1435 – c. 1486) was a French painter of theEarly Renaissance. Froment is one of the most notable representatives of the Second School of Avignon (École d'Avignon), a group of artists at the court of thePopes in Avignon, who were located there from 1309 to 1411.^[1]

He was influenced by the Flemish style that characterizes the last phase of the Gothic.^[2][3]

He undertook to paint an altarpiece 12 February 1470 in Aix for a rich widow called Catherine Spifami; in the center of the panel is a depicting theDeath of Mary, and on the side panels, the Saints Mary Magdalene and Catherine are shown. He was attributed a number of works from this timetime, but none of these attributions can be considered reliable.^[4]

One of the most interesting work of this group is theRetable des Pérussis orThe Pérussis Altarpiece, depicts the adoration of the empty cross on Golgatha, and is located at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.^[5]
