constanius Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 V&A Medal Collection Link Loads of information on the methods of medal making and many fine medals. 'Cardinal Christopher Widman' Wax relief Johann Jakob Kornmann (died 1649) Italy (Rome) About 1648 Wax, on painted copper Museum no. A.32-1932 Given by Dr Sir G.F. Hill This relief is a preliminary sketch for a medal. Once the client had approved the wax, the artist would go on to make the medal. 'Cardinal Christopher Widman' Medal Johann Kornmann (died 1649) Italy (Rome) 1648 Bronze Museum no. 385-1906 Given by Max Rosenheim FSA, through the National Art Collections Fund The finished medal differs from a wax model, presumably because the client or sitter asked for certain changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
