Schilder Antonius Moor 1550

This small, circular bronze medal, created by Jacques Jonghelinck in 1550, depicts Antonius Moor in profile. The inscription surrounding Moor's portrait identifies him as a "morere" (death) or possibly a "moritur" (dying). Jonghelinck was a prominent medallist and sculptor who was active in Antwerp during the 16th century. The medal is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject, with meticulous detail in Moor's facial features, beard, and clothing.
