Koningen en koninginnen - Oliver Cromwell 1599-1658 1658 - 1731

This bronze medal, created by Jean Dassier in the early 18th century, is a portrait of Oliver Cromwell, a significant figure in English history. The obverse depicts Cromwell in profile, while the reverse features a symbolic scene of his triumph, likely referencing his role in the English Civil War. The medal serves as a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the representation of Cromwell during this period. Dassier's work, typical of his medallic style, employs a detailed, almost photographic approach to capture Cromwell's likeness, making it an important piece for art historians and those interested in the history of England.
