Leoni sent Michaelangelo two silver and two bronze copies. He cleaned and boxed one specially, writing ‘keep it and look after it for love of me’. Apparently Michelangelo was pleased with the medal and in gratitude he gave him a wax model of Hercules and Antaeus, now lost. The medal was widely distributed, and the portrait frequently copied. The inscription, however, is wrong: Michelangelo was then 85 not 88.CM.219-19091accession numberCM.219-1909227225priref227225urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/227225https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/227225referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceagent-152739adlib-agent-152739285dc4d6-0ba9-39e4-b572-dcd5ae803bceRosenheim FSA, Max190919091909given1561CE1561circa1561makerreferenceagent-188951adlib-agent-1889517e0fd90e-5edb-3e50-86db-81f32d3f44cbLeone Leoni (c.1509-1590)referenceterm-39596adlib-term-3959601ae5cac-6dea-3136-8004-133d044a6b63leadDiametermm57Weightg30.17referencemedia-958724259portfolio-media-95872425926a530ff-3e8d-3722-a675-b9351235a88bjpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/638/322/large_CM_219_1909_obv_2007_adn21_mas.jpg1heightpixels1365widthpixels102415547663880001imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/638/322/mid_CM_219_1909_obv_2007_adn21_mas.jpg1heightpixels667widthpixels50015547663880001imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/638/322/CM_219_1909_obv_2007_adn21_mas.jpg1heightpixels5344widthpixels4008155476638800011imagejpegportfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/638/322/preview_CM_219_1909_obv_2007_adn21_mas.jpg1heightpixels333widthpixels25015547663880001image0media
