French medal Marie de Medici by Guillaume Dupré (1624)

Description

Wonderful bronze cast medal commemorating Marie de Medici (1575-1642), who was Queen of France as the second wife of King Henry IV of France.
Very interesting medal with inverted legend by Guillaume Dupré, who was undoubtedly one of the most important French medallists of the 17th century.
Old, but probably later cast, beautiful specimen.

Shipping time from Germany to USA and Canada is currently impacted by the lack of air traffic between Europe and the USA. Therefore DHL and Deutsche Post may in some cases do the transport by ocean, which may result in higher shipping times.

I am currently reorganizing my collection of Art Nouveau and Art Deco medals and plaquettes, mainly from France. Over the next weeks, I will regularly put on sale medals of prominent medal artists.
If you are interested in medals of that period, I would like to recommend the book 'French medallic art 1870-1940', which I published in 2010.
