Medals of Henry III Valois. Iconographic Notes

Summary/Abstract: The author presents twenty-nine works of art, including medals, coins, portrait engravings, painted miniatures, paintings and emblems, as well as examples of bas-relief. The aim of this work, apart from a detailed analysis of the medallic legacy left behind by Henry of Valois, was to fi nd and describe works of art with which a medallic artist might have had contact when commissioned by the king or his immediate circle. Identifying the direct sources of inspiration for artists working in the 16th century made it possible to better answer the question of how Henry Valey promoted his own undisputed political or military achievements.
