Medal: Bartolomeo Colleoni

Marco Guidizani Italian

Not on view

A portrait of Bartolomeo Colleoni (1400 – 1476), a celebrated Venetian
condottiere is on the obverse, and a nude man
sitting on a cuirass and holding a plumb line is on the
reverse. A terminus post quem for this medal is given by
Colleoni’s appointment as commander of the Venetian
forces in 1455; this specimen is a late aftercast, possibly
from the nineteenth century.
