Stichting van de Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten te Brussel, ter ere van Willem I Frederik, koning der Nederlanden, penning uitgereikt aan Ph. de Droogers 1817

This 1817 silver medal by Joseph-Pierre Braemt commemorates the founding of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, under the patronage of King William I of the Netherlands. The obverse displays a portrait of King William I, while the reverse features a laurel wreath surrounding an inscription detailing the academy's founding and its dedication to the graphic arts. This medal, typical of commemorative art of the period, was likely awarded to Ph. de Droogers for his contributions to the arts. It is a small but significant piece of art, demonstrating the importance of the academy and the appreciation for the graphic arts in 19th century Belgium.
