This 1617 medal, crafted by Italian Renaissance artist Giacomo Antonio Moro, portrays Pope Paul V, born Camillo Borghese, in profile. This small-scale bronze relief, currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to Moro's skill in capturing the likeness and dignity of his subject. The intricate detail of the Pope's robes and the inscription surrounding the portrait add to the overall sense of grandeur and reverence. The medal serves as a historical artifact and a beautiful example of Renaissance portraiture.
