This bronze medal by Bartolommeo Melioli, created after 1496, depicts Chiara Gonzaga, wife of Gilbert de Bourbon. The medal showcases Gonzaga in profile, wearing a cap and gown, in a style typical of Renaissance portraiture. The inscription around the edge identifies the subject and her title, "CLARA DE GOVIZ COMITISSA" and "DELPHINA GALIAR." Melioli's medal is a testament to the Renaissance interest in both portraiture and the creation of commemorative objects.
