Richard Courtenay – Heraldic Miniatures

1892-1963

The first miniaturist to combine true heraldic research with his own beautifully sculpted miniatures in action poses. Most of today's heraldic artist's work have been influenced by the 150 plus positions of heraldic knights and personality miniatures first produced by the Master, Richard Courtenay.
