This bronze medal by Etienne Delaune, a prominent French Renaissance medalist, depicts a scene of triumph. A winged figure, likely Fame, stands on a chariot pulled by a horse, while another figure sits in the chariot, possibly representing Abundance. The inscription around the edge reads "LAURO ET FAMA," signifying "With laurel and fame." The inscription in the center of the medal suggests that the work celebrates a specific event, possibly a victory or a coronation. This piece showcases Delaune's mastery in medal-making, a popular art form during the Renaissance, and his ability to capture complex scenes in miniature.
