Watch List notes:

Bolognese School, Pirro Malvezzi (patrician of Bologna, 1429-1505), bronze medal, 1477, bust left wearing armour emblazoned with lion's mask in medallion, rev., DO BERARDVS I CCCCLXXVII, Malvizzi in Roman attire seated on monster with lion's head and body and dragon's tail, 72.5mm (Hill 1119; Arm. I, 58 and III, 14), pierced, a very fine early cast. The attribution in Hill to a certain Do. Berardus, otherwise unknown, is not at all certain. Hill considered the work influenced by Cristoforo di Geremia, especially his medal of Alfonso of Aragon (Hill 754), noting the similarities inherent in the armour worn by the sitters in each case as well as other aspects. This cast is extremely similar to the example in Paris illustrated by Hill, repeating the doubling of the date on the reverse.
Estimate: 600-800 GBP
