Bescherming van de Rooms-Katholieke kerk door de hertog van Parma 1592

This bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1592, depicts the Duke of Parma, Alessandro Farnese, on horseback. On one side, the Duke's portrait is shown in profile, while the other side features a full-length depiction of him on horseback. The medal, a small circular object, is a historical artifact that commemorates the Duke's protection of the Roman Catholic Church. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this notable piece of art, providing insight into the visual culture and history of the 16th century.
