Huwelijk van Frederik, prins der Nederlanden en Louise, prinses van Pruisen te Berlijn 1825

This commemorative medal, "Huwelijk van Frederik, prins der Nederlanden en Louise, prinses van Pruisen te Berlijn," was created in 1825 by Gottfried Bernhard Loos to celebrate the marriage of Prince Frederick of the Netherlands and Princess Louise of Prussia. The medal features a winged figure holding a scroll in its hands, a common symbol of love and union. The inscription surrounding the figure is in Latin, and the back of the medal is blank. This small, yet significant piece of artwork provides insight into 19th-century European commemorative practices. The medal is an excellent example of a commemorative medal, which is a type of art that is created to celebrate a specific event or person.
