This lead medal, created by Paolo da Ragusa, features Alfonso V, King of Aragon in a profile portrait. Made between 1430 and 1465, the piece showcases the Renaissance interest in realistic depictions of individuals. The medal's inscription, "ALFONSU REX AR," identifies the subject and highlights the influence of classical Roman portraiture on the artist's style. This small, yet significant, artwork is a testament to the skilled artistry of Paolo da Ragusa and the importance of portraiture during the Renaissance period.
