Portrait medal of Camilla Buondelmonti Salviati (obverse); Personification of Hope (reverse) 1487 - 1493

This bronze medal by Niccolò Fiorentino, also known as Niccolò di Forzore Spinelli, is a portrait of Camilla Buondelmonti Salviati. The obverse of the medal shows Camilla in profile, wearing a headdress. The reverse, though not pictured, is a personification of Hope. This work exemplifies Fiorentino's skill in portraiture and his talent for creating medals with high relief. The medal was likely created as a commemorative piece for the sitter, a prominent figure in 15th-century Florence.
