This bronze medal, created by the renowned Italian artist Pisanello around 1441, depicts Filippo Maria Visconti, Duke of Milan from 1412 to 1447. The portrait shows Visconti in profile, wearing a distinctive hat, likely a symbol of his authority. The medal is inscribed with his title and a Latin phrase praising his piety and noble lineage. This piece, with its finely detailed portraiture, is a testament to Pisanello's mastery of Renaissance medal making, a form of art that served to commemorate and celebrate prominent figures.
