Jean Mauger's bronze medal, "Ontzet van Guise door Lodewijk XIV," commemorates the relief of Guise by Louis XIV in 1699. The medal features a profile of Louis XIV on the obverse, and on the reverse, depicts a personification of France, a winged female figure, standing triumphantly over the siege of Guise. This medal is a prime example of Baroque artistic style in 17th century France, and utilizes historical events as the inspiration for the artwork.
