Pope Clement X 1665 - 1675

This bronze medal, created by Italian artist Girolamo Lucenti between 1665 and 1675, depicts Pope Clement X in profile. The medal is a high-relief portrait, highlighting the Pope's features with great detail, including his distinctive beard and attire. The inscription "CLEMENS X.P.O.M." on the medal identifies the subject and his title, "Pope". This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to Lucenti's skill in capturing likeness and creating a powerful image of the Pope.
