Maximiliaan, koning van Bohemen 1554

Leone Leoni's 1554 bronze medal, "Maximiliaan, koning van Bohemen," features a profile portrait of Maximilian II, King of Bohemia, on one side. The reverse side depicts a depiction of a winged figure, possibly representing victory, standing on a pile of weaponry. The small size of the medal, 6.9 cm in diameter, suggests its likely use as a commemorative piece or a gift, a popular practice among Italian Renaissance artists. This medal, with its detailed portraiture and allegorical imagery, serves as a testament to Leoni's mastery of Renaissance medal-making.
