Tentoonstelling van voortbrengselen van nijverheid te Brussel 1830 1830

Joseph-Pierre Braemt created this bronze medal to commemorate the Exhibition of industrial products in Brussels, 1830. The medal's design is divided into two distinct sides, each with its own symbolic weight. One side presents a profile of a regal figure, meticulously detailed with neoclassical precision. The other side features a stylized rendering of the exhibition building. The choice of bronze as a medium is significant, lending the medal a sense of timelessness and solidity. The circular form, unbroken and continuous, suggests notions of unity and completion. The medal is not merely a commemorative object; it is a symbolic representation of the values and aspirations of a society on the cusp of industrial and political transformation.
