Tommaso Rangone, 1493-1577, Physician of Ravenna [obverse]

Matteo Pagani

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bas-relief portrait on a round medal of an older man with a full, curly beard and short curly hair. The man is facing to the right and is dressed in a cloak or robe. The material appears to be bronze with a warm, brownish-gold patina. The surface includes inscriptions around the edge, partially worn and not fully legible. The detail in the man's hair and beard, along with his contemplative expression, contribute to a classical and dignified presentation.
