This 16th century bronze medal, created by Leone Leoni, depicts Ippolita di Ferdinando Gonzaga (1535–1563), the daughter of the Duke of Mantua. Ippolita is shown in profile, with a richly detailed headdress and a jeweled necklace. Leoni, a renowned medallist of the Renaissance, was known for his striking realism and attention to detail, which is evident in this small but beautifully executed piece. The medal serves as a testament to the artistry of Leoni and the enduring influence of Renaissance portraiture.
