This bronze medal, created between 1471 and 1500 by the Italian artist Niccolò Fiorentino, depicts Giovanni Antonio de' Conti in profile. The medal's inscription, "IOANNES ANTONIVS DE CONTIIS," identifies the subject. The detailed rendering of Conti’s features, clothing, and the inscription around the edge are characteristic of the high-quality craftsmanship prevalent in Italian Renaissance medal making. The medal is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
