This bronze medal, created by Giovanni Candida in 1477, depicts Maria of Burgundy, Duchess of Burgundy, in profile. Maria, who died in 1482, was the wife of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. The medal features a detailed portrait of Maria and a Latin inscription that reads "Mariax Karoli Filia, [Dux] Burgundie", which translates to "Maria, daughter of Charles [Duke] of Burgundy". Candida's medal is a significant piece of Renaissance art, capturing the likeness of an important historical figure and demonstrating the skill of the medallist.
