Aankomst van kardinaal d'Amboise te Milaan om het oproer te stillen 1634 - 1640

This silver medal, created by Pierre Regnier in the 17th century, depicts the arrival of Cardinal d'Amboise in Milan to quell the uprising. The obverse features a portrait of the Cardinal in profile, while the reverse shows a scene of the city with a radiant figure above, symbolizing divine intervention. This work is a prime example of the commemorative medal genre, prevalent during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. These medals, often commissioned by patrons to celebrate events or individuals, were crafted in exquisite detail and served as miniature works of art.
