Annibale Fontana: Fernando Francesco II d'Avalos, Marquess of Pescara (c. 1562) Fine Art Print

Annibale Fontana's c. 1562 medal depicting Fernando Francesco II d'Avalos, the Marquess of Pescara, is a masterwork of High Renaissance numismatic art. Fontana, celebrated for his precision in crystal engraving and bronze casting, captures the military commander with striking classical gravitas. The obverse portrait reflects the architectural rigor and intellectual depth of sixteenth-century Italian courtly life. This archival reproduction preserves the intricate relief details and aged patina of the original medal. Presented in a refined, gallery-ready presentation, each format—including our canvas option—is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, honoring the integrity of the historical artifact.
