Vrede van Luneville 1801

This silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Abraham Abramson in 1801, commemorates the Treaty of Luneville. The obverse of the medal depicts a chariot drawn by a lion and driven by a figure symbolizing Peace, while on the reverse, a seated male figure, perhaps representing the Peace of Luneville itself, reaches towards a bright star. This small, yet intricate, piece of art reflects the importance of this treaty in European history and the talent of Abraham Abramson, who skillfully captured this significant moment in time.
