This bronze medal, created by Matteo de' Pasti between 1440 and 1444, depicts Benedetto de' Pasti, Canon of Verona, in profile. The medal is a striking example of Renaissance portraiture, capturing the sitter's likeness with precision and detail. The inscription around the edge identifies the subject and artist, highlighting the importance of both. This piece is an example of the burgeoning interest in individualized portraiture that characterized the Italian Renaissance, and serves as a testament to the artistic talent of Matteo de' Pasti.
