Sigismondo d’Este
4th quarter 15th c. | Sperandio Savèlli
The first plaquettes were created around 1440 in Rome as impressions of antique gems. Such small, single-sided bronze reliefs with depictions of mythological and historical subjects or antique and contemporary sovereigns were eagerly collected and traded. Like prints, they served to disseminate artistic ideas. They were occasionally also employed to decorate hats or household utensils.
