Leone Leoni’s bronze medal, “Ippolita di Ferdinando Gonzaga (1535–1563) at the age of 16,” is a beautiful example of Renaissance portraiture. The work, created between 1551 and 1552, portrays Ippolita in a three-quarter profile with a delicate and elegant style, emphasizing her youthful beauty and refined features. The inscription around the medal’s edge identifies the subject and her noble lineage, and the detailed execution of her jewelry and dress adds to the overall sense of grandeur.
