This bronze medal, created by the Italian artist Pisanello between 1441 and 1444, depicts Leonello d'Este, the Marquess of Ferrara, in profile. Pisanello was a master of the Early Renaissance, known for his detailed and lifelike portraits. The medal's inscription, "LEONEL·D·EST·MARQ·FERRAR·," identifies the sitter and his title. This exquisite work is a testament to the artistic sophistication of the Italian Renaissance and is considered a prime example of the medallic art of the time.
