REYMOND, Pierre

Artist

(c. 1513- after 1584)

Details

French enameler. He specialized in tableware (cups, ewers, plates, dishes, etc.) decorated with mythological scenes, typically in grisaille against a dark blue background. His compositions draw particular inspiration from the work of 16th century engravers Lucas van Leyden, Albrecht Dürer, Marcantonio Raimondi, and, later in life, Bernard Salomon's (c. 1509-1561) Biblical engravings. He also made the enamelled altarpiece commissioned by Anne de Montmorency for the chapel of his Château d'Écouen (now the Musée de la Renaissance). Reymond was the head of a large workshop in Limoges; the products of his workshop bear his initials but are not necessarily his work. //
