This silver plaquette by the Italian Renaissance artist Caradosso depicts Giangiacomo Trivulzio, a prominent Milanese military leader. Crafted in 1499, the relief portrait showcases Trivulzio in profile, adorned with a laurel wreath, a symbol of his military triumphs. The inscription surrounding his image identifies him as “MARESCVSIO IACOBVS TRIVL,” highlighting his aristocratic lineage. The plaquette exemplifies the Renaissance fascination with the classical past and the celebration of individual achievement.
