Niccolo Ursini, graaf van Pitigliano en Nola, benoemd tot veldheer van Venetië 1509

This 16th-century bronze medal, created by an anonymous artist, depicts Niccolo Ursini, Count of Pitigliano and Nola, on both sides. The obverse shows a profile portrait of Ursini, while the reverse features an equestrian portrait, a common motif in Renaissance medallic art, symbolizing his military prowess. The medal is a small, circular piece, measuring only 4.2 cm in diameter, and weighing 30.46 grams. It is a testament to the skill of Renaissance medalists and their ability to capture the essence of a figure within a miniature format.
