Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRIEUR, PIERRE (c. 1626-c. 1676) , French enamel painter. He married Marie (1610-1677),
sister
  of
jean
  Petitot, as her second husband. In 1669 he was in England,
painting
  a miniature of Charles II. and another of Lady Castlemaine, both after Cooper, for the king of Denmark. In 167o he was in Poland,
painting
  for the Danish monarch a portrait of King Michael, and in the following year was in Denmark executing a remarkable
series
  of portraits of the children of Frederick III. All these, with some beautiful enamel badges for the Order of the Elephant, are in the Danish royal collection. By Christian V. he is said to have been sent to Spain and
Russia
 , where several examples of his
work
 , dated 1676, are to be seen in the Hermitage. In the following year he died in Denmark. He was a Huguenot, and was said to possess
secret
  colours in enamel, especially a blue, which were not known to his Petitot relations. His
work
  in England is of
great
  rarity, Lord Dartrey possessing the finest example, and there are two remarkable works in the Pierpont
Morgan
  collection and one at Windsor Castle. Two in the Propert collection have been lost sight of. (G. C. W.)
