Italian 15th or 16th Century, Meleager on Horseback (reverse), late 15th early 16th century Meleager on Horseback reverseMedal of Anne of Austria (obverse), 1660. Jean Warin (French, 1604-1672). Bronze; diameter: 6 cm (2 3/8 in.). Jean Warin was the foremost medalist in 17th-century France. As the chief designer of coins, his relationship with King Louis XIII was exceptionally close; he convinced the king that commemorative medals were the most important artistic medium for propaganda. Warin revolutionized the production of medals by introducing the raised edge, allowing greater ease in striking medals. This change fueled the shift from casting medals to the more recently invented process of striking, or pressing medals from a die. This work is one of many he composed of Queen Anne of Austria (1601-1666). Although she was born in Spain as the Infanta, or princess, of Spain and Portugal, her title "of Austria" refers to her Hapsburg heritage as well as her title of Archduchess of Austria.
