Elie Pellegrin (1914-2004) was a French artist who worked in Chamonix (France, ski station near the Mont Blanc) since 1945. Very pious, his art is mostly religious (crucifix, figurines, medals etc). He developed a technique of enameling on metal (bronze, copper, silver, gold), very personal and appreciated by art lovers. In the 1960s, his style is very modern, almost avant-gardiste. He opened a shop in 1968 and was very successful. He received a lot of orders coming not only from France but also from all over the world. Elie Pellegrin is one of the most modern engravers of religious medals.
