449. Ludovico Gambalo, c.1560
Draped bust of Ludovico Gambalo, left.
An animal which appears to be a crocodile in a landscape.
Attributed to Pier Paolo Galeotti.
Copper, cast. 26 mm. (1.1 inches) in diameter.
Good fine, and with a pleasant, medium-brown patina. A contemporary cast of good quality.
Sorry this item is sold.
References: Apparently unpublished.
Notes: No record of this medal can be found in any published source, nor is anything known of Ludovico Gambalo, who is described in the legend on this medal as being 16 years of age. His date of birth can therefore be placed c. 1545.
The medal has strong stylistic similarities with the work of Pier Paolo Galeotti (1520-84), in the treatment of the portrait, and with particular regard to its posture and the decoration of the drapery.
