This 1473 medal, created by the Italian Renaissance artist Savelli Sperandio, is a stunning example of the art of the medal. The piece features a finely detailed profile portrait of Presciano de Ferrara, likely a local nobleman or official, rendered in relief on a circular bronze plaque. The medal, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the high skill and artistry of Sperandio, a master of the genre.
