Portrait medal of Jacopo Antonio Sorra (obverse); A Nude Male Figure Shooting Arrows (reverse). Artist: Antonio Abondio (Italian, Trento 1538-1591 Vienna). Dimensions: Diam. 4.9 cm, wt. 32.07 g.. Date: 1561 (possibly contemporary cast).Antonio Abondio was an Italian medallist who achieved great success in the courts north of the Alps. Abondio appears to have left Italy first in 1565-6 for employment by the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II in Innsbruck and Ambras and by the Emperor Maximilian II. This is Abondio's earliest dated medal, probably cast in Milan before he left Italy for the imperial court in Vienna.Nothing is known of the sitter, who may have been a member of the Sorra family of Modena and Bologna. The reverse depicts a nude man shooting arrows at a mark--an allusion to the aurea mediocritas (the middle way or golden mean) and the exercise of prudence. The inference is: Do not aim for perfection, which even the gods cannot achieve. The inscription, Non Semper, translates a

Céleste Motte (afterwards wife if the designer and painter, Achille Devéria) 1828 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 himself to a personal

Portrait medal of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (obverse); Il Gesù (reverse) 1575 Giovanni V. Melon Italian At the age of fourteen, Alessandro Farnese was appointed Cardinal Deacon by his grandfather Pope Paul III. Amassing great wealth in the service of several popes, Farnese built or restored many monuments in and around Rome and assembled the greatest collection of Roman sculpture since antiquity. He was also a patron of living artists, notably El Greco, and his holdings included coins, medals, and drawings. The reverse depicts the facade of the Roman church, Il Gesù, a project financed by Farnese. Work began in 1568, but the façade was not completed until 1577, two years after the making of this medal. The medal also commemorates the Holy Year of 1575, during which the unfinished church played an important role in celebrations..
