This bronze medal by Andrea Spinelli from 1534 depicts Andrea Gritti, Doge of Venice from 1523 to 1538. The medal showcases a profile portrait of Gritti, with his head turned slightly to the right. He is adorned with a cap and an inscription surrounding the portrait, "ANDREA GRITTI DVX VENETI[ARVM]" which translates to "Andrea Gritti, Duke of Venice." The medal is a fine example of Renaissance portraiture and Italian medallic art, capturing the likeness of a prominent figure of the time.
