This bronze medal, created in 1472 by the Italian artist Savelli Sperandio, portrays Pietro Albano in profile. The inscription around the edge identifies the subject and indicates the use of the medal as a commemorative object. This small, highly detailed work is a prime example of the Renaissance interest in portraiture. Sperandio’s medal is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York.
