Portrait medal of Camilla Buondelmonti Salviati (obverse); Personification of Hope (reverse). Artist: Style of Niccolò Fiorentino (Niccolò di Forzore Spinelli) (Italian, Florence 1430-1514 Florence). Dimensions: Diam. 8.7 cm; wt. 239.52 g.. Date: model ca. 1490 (possibly cast 16th or 17th century).This unsigned medal falls within a large group of medals attributed to the style of Niccolò Fiorentino. The portrait is typical of the artist's bold style and use of high relief. The medal was made in 1490, the year Camilla Buondelmonti married Giannozzo di Bernardo Salviati, who later became controller of the Opera del Duomo in Florence. On the reverse, the personification of Hope, one of the three theological virtues, stands upon a rocky outcropping in a billowing garment. She clasps her hands in prayer before a radiant sun and is accompanied by the legend "I hope in God." Similar subjects and inscriptions are seen in other medals by the group of artists associated with Niccolò Fiorentino

Cosimo de' Medici (1519-1574), Duke of Florence and Grand Duke of Tuscany. Artist: Grand-ducal workshops, Florence. Culture: Italian, Florence. Dimensions: Overall: 2 3/16 x 1 13/16 x 3/8 in. (5.5 x 4.7 x 1 cm); 55.2 x 46.5 x 10 mm. Date: ca. 1567-69.Lapis lazuli is a notoriously brittle medium for detailed carving, but the highly specialized Florentine grand-ducal workshops overcame many challenges as they fashioned and assembled hardstones. This portrait of Cosimo de' Medici is more generalized than those on the medals it is based on, no doubt owing to the extra caution that had to be taken with the drilling. The cameo appears in Medici inventories, described as framed in ebony, between 1588 and 1628. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Portrait medal of Niccolò Piccinino (obverse); A Griffin (reverse) model 1440-41 (possibly cast 16th century) Pisanello (Antonio Pisano) Italian Active in Verona and the Italian courts, the celebrated master Pisanello left behind a significant legacy, including a large corpus of drawings and several paintings. He was also the inventor of the commemorative portrait medal. Inspired by Roman coins, with their portraits of rulers and allegorical representations on the reverse, the medals commemorated individuals or events and functioned as gifts and mementoes. Niccolò Piccinino, his surname meaning the "tiny one," was one of the most accomplished condottieri (professional soldiers) in fifteenth-century Italy. He worked primarily for the Duke of Milan, Filippo Maria Visconti, who eventually adopted him, hence the addition of the name VICECOMES (Visconti) on the medal. The portrait is based on a drawing in the Louvre, the only difference being that the subject is wearing armor in the medal a

Moses, Chief of the Okinokans 1891; cast 1906 Olin Levi Warner American "Moses, Chief of the Okinokans" was one of seven portraits of Native Americans that Warner modeled in 1891 while in Oregon. In 1893, Warner's friend Charles Erskine Scott Wood stated that Moses was chief of the Ilnamehin or Okinakan tribe, a local branch of the Nez Percé nation. In fact, the Okanagons belonged to the inland division of the Salishan linguistic stock in the Pacific Northwest. Because of a striking resemblance, Moses was often nicknamed "Henry Ward Beecher.".

Antoinette Cécile Hortense Lescot, Mme. Haudebourt-Lescot, painter 1829 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 campaign o

Cameo of a Gentleman ca. 1850 Erastus Dow Palmer American During the early years of his career, Palmer is estimated to have produced over a hundred miniature cameos. These small low-relief portraits were cut in shell and were often duplicated in plaster by means of a wax mold. Twelve plaster casts (1983.519.1-.12), all of men, are mounted in an oval in a shadow box. Only three of the sitters have been identified: Mason Fitch Cogwsell (1807-1865), an Albany physician; John J. Francis (ca. 1810-1877) of Utica; and John Nichols Wilder (1813-1858), one of the founders of the University of Rochester. Three are the same portrait, although the identity of the sitter is unknown. The sculptors signature appears on two of the unidentified portraits. Studied together, these cameos reveal Palmer's special talent for rendering a gallery of Americans with a surprising variety of expression and character considering their intimate format..
