Daniele Renier Enthroned among the Four Cardinal Virtues [reverse]

Giulio della Torre

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a relief on a circular medal. In the center, a seated figure is being crowned by two other figures standing on either side. The central figure holds an object while the standing figures are dressed in robes, with one holding a staff. The scene is set under an ornate archway. The medal has an aged patina, likely made from bronze or a similar alloy, giving it a brownish-gold color. There is an inscription in Latin around the outer edge and more text at the bottom of the relief. The craftsmanship is intricate, showing detailed figures and decorative elements on the surface.
