This bronze medal, created by Jean (II) Warin, depicts a profile portrait of Cardinal Jules Mazarin, the chief minister of France during the reign of Louis XIV. The reverse side showcases a symbolic image of a rock surrounded by turbulent waves, representing Mazarin's resilience amidst political challenges. Created in 1659, the medal serves as a testament to Mazarin's influence and the turbulent political landscape of 17th-century France. Warin, a renowned medalist of his time, captured the likeness and the power of Mazarin in this small-scale work of art, highlighting the historical and artistic value of medals.
