Stad Brugge 1828

"Stad Brugge" is a bronze medal by Dutch artist Franciscus Johannes de Hondt, created in 1828. The medal depicts a crowned female figure, likely representing the city of Bruges, seated on a throne and offering a laurel wreath. The reverse features a wreath of laurel leaves, symbolizing victory or honor. The medal, measuring just 4.2 centimeters in diameter, is a testament to de Hondt's skill in creating detailed and expressive miniature sculptures. This work exemplifies the genre of commemorative medals, popular in the 19th century as a way to honor individuals or events.
