Pierre Courteys

was a French enamel painter, working in Limoges.

Courteys, one of the best enamel painters of Limoges, and an excellent designer and colourist, was probably a disciple of Pierre Reymond.

In 1559 he executed twelve oval medallions with life-sized figures of the Virtues and the gods of Olympus, for the façade of the château of Madrid, built by Francis I and Henry II in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris.

They are the largest enamels which have ever been made at Limoges.
