"Renee de France (1510-75), Duchess of Ferrara, c.1522-28" is a portrait attributed to the studio of the French painter François Clouet, who was noted for his detailed and realistic portraiture during the Renaissance period. The painting is believed to depict Renée of France, the second daughter of Louis XII of France and Anne of Brittany. Born into the highest echelons of French nobility, Renée was married to Ercole II d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara, which made her the Duchess of Ferrara.

The artwork is a testament to the cultural and political connections between the French and Italian courts in the 16th century. Renée was known for her intelligence and her patronage of the arts and religious reform, which made her a significant figure in the intellectual and religious circles of her time. The portrait likely served to emphasize her status and refinement, as well as to solidify political alliances through visual representation.

The attribution to the studio of Clouet suggests that while the painting may not have been executed by Clouet himself, it was likely produced under his direction and influence. François Clouet was the court painter to King Francis I of France, and his studio was responsible for many important portraits of the French nobility and royalty. The style of the portrait, with its meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and the sitter's complexion, is characteristic of Clouet's sophisticated and nuanced approach to portraiture.

As a historical artifact, the portrait of Renée de France provides insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the French Renaissance court, as well as the role of women in the political and cultural landscapes of the period. The painting is an important piece for understanding the dissemination of Renaissance artistic styles across Europe and the function of portraiture in the construction of dynastic and personal identities.
