Lot 233
Germany, Augsburg, Alexander Schwarz (1478-c.1532), uniface bronze medal by Hans Schwarz (1518), alexandri svvartz avgvstani aet ann xl, bust left aged 40, wearing hat and cloak with high collar, unclear monogram (?) on truncation, 68.8mm (Kastenholz 25; Habich 124, pl. 19, 2), traces of solder on the reverse, otherwise an extremely fine contemporary cast and very rare. Hans Schwarz is credited with the introduction of medals as an art form into Germany and the present piece dates from the period when he produced his first series of medals often depicting individuals attending the Augsburg Diet in 1518. Many of Hans Schwarz’s sketches have survived and the present medal is based on one of the sitter, now in the Staatsbibliothek, Bamberg (Inv. No. IA 38; Kastenholz p. 246, fig. 151). Other specimens of the medal exist in Augsburg, Berlin, Paris and Vienna – and bear the unexplained incised monogram (?) on the truncation of the bust, as present here. The example in the British Museum has been enamelled and so too was the example in the Michael Hall collection (lot 2476) and a specimen without the outer legend which featured in the Münzen und Medaillen sale 90, 14 June 2000, lot 444. According to Habich (who wrongly dated the medal to 1521) Alexander Schwarz was a relative of the medallist, a builder in Augsburg who appears in the Schwarz family portrait painting by Hans Holbein the Elder now in the Maximiliansmuseum, Augsburg.

Italy, Florence, Cosimo III de’ Medici, uniface bronze medal by Soldani, bust right, 96mm including border (cf. Vannel/Toderi 35), pierced, contemporary cast, very fine; and bronze medals of Virginia de’ Medici and Giuliano de’ Medici, Archbishop of Pisa (Vannel/Toderi 314, 319), rough late casts (3)
Lot 249
Italy, Giovanna Albizzi Tornabuoni (died 1488), bronze medal, attributed to Niccolò Fiorentino, bust right, rev., the Three Graces named as Chastity, Beauty and Love, 80mm (Hill 1021; Currency of Fame 45), old cast, very fine; together with Roman bronze coin of Maximinus I (AD 235-238) from Tarsus depicting the Three Graces from antiquity, 35mm. (SNG Levante 1096), fine and rare (2). As Pollard mentions in Currency of Fame, the Three Graces symbolised what was good and most civilised in life; they found their origins in antiquity. The closest precise parallel to the reverse of the present medal is a Roman terra-cotta lamp (mentioned by Spencer in StHistArt 21, pp. 202-3) but the general type is found from time to time in Roman coinage - such as the 3rd century coin offered with the medal in this lot. Giovanna married Lorenzo Tornabuoni and died in childbirth in 1488. Her portrait is on the central figure of the Three Graces with her back to the viewer.
Lot 245
Italy, Francesco Niconizio of Curzola (1501-1549), lawyer, bronze medal by Giulio della Torre, bust left, rev., Mercury standing, pointing up to the dates of a palm tree, 111.5mm (Hill 581; Arm. I, 134, 25; Toderi/Vannel 523), with some scratches in the fields, a very fine old cast with brown patina.

The medal was extensively copied in the 18th century (as Katz 71 and Pollard 737) but this is an original struck in the 16th century as a commemorative for Jan Hus’s life with the monogram generally associated with Hieronymus Magdeburger although the medallists Michael Hohenauer and Hieronymus Dietrich have also been suggested.
