GIANPIETRO CRIVELLI (1463-1552)
Self Portrait. Medal, Rome c. 1520s-1530s. Bronze, 50.5mm. Bust right wearing a gown; bead and reel border, rev. IOAN / PIET / RO CR / IVELLO, crossed branches below, all within a wreathed oval frame with volutes around and a mask below.
A Milanese jeweler and goldsmith, Crivelli moved to Rome in 1504, becoming a member of the Roman guild and numbering Caradosso, Lorenzo Lotto and Benvenuto Cellini among his friends and associates. Around 1538-1539, he had a stately home built, notable for its stucco decorated façade which has given the Palazzo Crivelli its monicker today of Casa dei Pupazzi (House of Puppets). Attwood 923. Deep brown patina. An Extremely fine later cast.
