This bronze medal by Giovanni Maria Pomedelli, created in 1527, depicts Giovanni Emo, the Podesta of Verona, in profile. Emo is shown wearing a cap and a richly-detailed garment, with his beard and hair carefully rendered. The inscription on the rim identifies him as a Venetian and the Podesta of Verona. This piece is an example of a Renaissance medal, a popular art form at the time, used to commemorate important figures and events.
