When looki g over any collection of Italian medals belongin g to these periods we are at once struck by the distinctive character of the s s an two group . There seems to be carcely y point at w fi hi ch the rst division fades into the second . There may be a little overlap : some medallist who in style belongs to the earlier epoch may carry on hi s work into the sixteenth century ; another who belongs to the later school may be found at work before that ce ntury begins . But s s s till the two cla ses remain essentially di tinct . The fifteen th s as u century medal are, a r le, much the larger in actual size ; they are also larger i n style of treatment. far s s s They are more culpture que than the later medal , and seem indee d to hold the right mean between painti ng and sculpture which belon gs to work in relief an d on this account they are the most notable for th e portraits a s which they displ y upon the obverse .

Eminent success in portraiture must be considered the characteristic of all the good medalli sts of the fifte en th r i s century .

It 1 8 easy to se e how this change l n the manne r o f pro ducin s a ff g medal gr dually a ected the art of the medallist . All the artistic work required for the process of casting ’ was l 1 n s 8 art the model ing; wax , therefore the medalli t , or hi s techni ue was s s what we may call q , almo t preci ely the s as s o c 1n rodu cm ame that of the culptor, when c upied p g bronze statues : for the sculptor in marble had to take into account further difficulti es incident to the nature of s s w as s t the ub tance which he going to carve . The culp or in bronze modelled in clay and the medallist in wax that was s ff t all the e sential di erence be ween them . The die ’ s i s engraver art demanded quite another k nd of kill , and was more akin to that of the en graver of gems and st s hi s s fin er ds l cry al , or who practi ed the kin of go d ’ s t s c ss m s s z mi h work . Moreover the ne e ity of a di ini hed i e in the struck medals affected the productions ln both kinds st s s l ss d s (ca and truck), and produced a ma ler cla of me al s i n h s than tho e which were common t e previou age . s s z i e ce s ss The decrea e ln i e of the p , and the nece ity for O fin er n i mode lli n hi work , whether ln e grav ng or g, w ch it d c n involve , made another point of o tact between the l s A fin d meda li t and the jeweller . ccordingly we that the greater number among the medallists of the sixteenth l - century were ikewise either jewellers or gem engravers . Francia and Cellini are con spicuous instance s ; Valerio Belli was an engraver of crystals Ce sato was a make r of cameos Annibale Fontana and Lione Lioni were both at e d s s s onc gol smith and sculptors . The e name are among the n greatest in the list of medallists of the sixtee th century . r s s Francia, Cellini , and many othe medalli t were employed to make dies for coins : we never hear of a medallist of the fifte n th w s s e century who as occupied in thi way . Thu the c ss s was s s even when pro e of ca ting till u ed , the art of medal-produ cin g was in these various ways largely i n fluen ced through the introduction of th e habit of making s a h di es . It i necessary to bear these f cts in mind w en w comparin g the production of the t o pe riods. The extremes of dissimilarity between the two are seen when s s d a s s we place ide by i e the med l of Pi ano, on the one

s of e lli . hand, and tho e C ni or Bernardi on the other The medallists of the sixteenth century are far too numerous to allow of anythi n g like a description of their s es i s e e individual tyl , in which there a great r vari ty than IN TRODUCTION X V i m li sts l s found among the edal of the ear ier period . It would be inte resting if we could divide them into di s s bu t s i s ss tinct chools of medal engraving, thi impo ible probably because few medallists practised this ar t and so t k m s sub none other, tha wor on edal became l ordinate to work in other fie ds . Some few points of ss t m i s s s s likene be ween edall t of particular di trict can, s Pom dello n di . e however, be i cated The medal of , it will be ce r s m fiftee n th noti d , bear a ce tain re e blance to the century piece s in respect to the bold relief in which the
