This 1907 bronze medal by H. Makkink commemorates the laying of the first stone of the Peace Palace in The Hague. The obverse features a portrait of Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist who funded the Palace, while the reverse depicts a winged angel of peace soaring over a female figure seated on clouds. The medal's inscription "Pax Gentium" (Peace of Nations) reflects Carnegie's belief in international peace and diplomacy. The medal is an example of commemorative art, a genre that uses visual imagery to celebrate historical events and individuals.
