This bronze medal, created by Bertoldo di Giovanni between 1463 and 1474, features a portrait of Filippo de' Medici, Archbishop of Pisa. The obverse of the medal, displayed here, presents a detailed profile of Filippo, adorned with a robe, against a backdrop of a leafy wreath. The inscription "PHILIPPVS.D.MEDICEVS.ARCHIEPISCOPVS.PISANVS" encircles the portrait, providing the subject's identity. This medal exemplifies the Renaissance era's focus on realism and individual portraiture. It is a testament to the skill of Bertoldo, a student of Donatello, who mastered the art of bronze casting and medal making.
