Dame Louise Swanton-Belloc (1796-1881), French littératrice (translated Lord Byron into French) 1830 Pierre Jean David d'Angers French Pierre-Jean David dAngers was the most prolific and one of the most important French sculptors of the first half of the nineteenth century. Throughout his almost fifty-year career (1819-1856) David remained true to his conviction that sculptural monuments dedicated to the achievements of great men and women most permanently and vividly express the greatness of a people. He continuously sought commissions for monuments portraying historical and contemporary figures whom he admired in order to commit their contributions to posterity. His most famous public commission, the figurative pediment of the Pantheon in Paris (1830-1837), which commemorates great men and was dedicated by a grateful nation, exemplifies these life-long principles. David dAngers extended his definition of public monuments to include portrait medallions. In the 1820s he dedicated him

Portrait medal of Isotta degli Atti (obverse); An Elephant (reverse). Artist: Matteo de' Pasti (Italian, Verona ca. 1420-after 1467 Rimini). Dimensions: Diam. 8.5 cm, wt. 275.79 g.. Date: model 1446 or later (possibly cast 16th century).A beautiful merchant's daughter, the thirteen-year-old Isotta degli Atti inspired the passion of Sigismondo Malatesta, the ruler of Rimini. The date 1446 commemorates the year Sigismondo consolidated his political power and won Isotta as his mistress; she later became his wife. Sigismondo embedded portrait medals of himself and Isotta in the walls of his buildings as a legacy of his triumphant reign. Here, Matteo captures the teenage beauty with tenderness and sensitivity. The elephant portrayed on the medal's reverse is a masterpiece of animal representation, at once naturalistic and richly symbolic. As one of the favorite heraldic devices of the Malatesta family of Rimini, the elephant signifies regal strength and the fame that confers immortality.
