This bronze medal, created by Giancristoforo Romano in 1498, portrays Isabella d'Este, the influential Marchioness of Mantua. The medal, which is only 3.93 cm in diameter, depicts Isabella in profile, with her hair pulled back in a braid. The inscription around the edge identifies her as "Isabella Marchioness". This small work of art exemplifies the Renaissance era’s fascination with portraiture and its focus on the individual. Roman's medal captures Isabella's dignity and intelligence, showcasing her as a leading figure of the Italian Renaissance.
