介绍（中）	这位著名的大师皮萨内洛活跃在维罗纳和意大利宫廷，留下了重要的遗产，包括大量的素描、几幅画和文艺复兴时期肖像奖章的制作。这些奖章的灵感来自罗马硬币，背面有统治者的肖像和寓言，纪念个人或事件，并用作礼物和纪念品。皮萨内洛的那不勒斯阿方索五世的大侍从和军事将军唐·伊尼戈·达瓦洛斯的勋章描绘了保姆穿着毛皮镶边的长袍和一顶由卷起的兜帽（卡布乔）和长垂部分组成的帽子。背面的图像 - 一个有大海和星空的球形地球 - 可能受到荷马在古希腊诗歌《伊利亚特》中对阿喀琉斯盾牌的描述的启发。这种解释将庆祝达瓦洛斯的军事实力;然而，该图像也可能具有占星术或圣经意义，暗指世界的创造或星星的影响。上面，两侧是两根盛开的玫瑰树枝，是一个盾牌，上面有一座三塔城堡，阿瓦洛斯的手臂。这个旧的后铸件磨损很大，下边缘不见了。
介绍（英）	Active in Verona and the Italian courts, the celebrated master Pisanello left behind a significant legacy, including a large corpus of drawings, several paintings, and the devopment of the Renaissance portrait medal. Inspired by Roman coins, with their portraits of rulers and allegorical representations on the reverse, the medals commemorated individuals or events and functioned as gifts and mementoes. Pisanello’s medal of Don Inigo d'Avalos, grand chamberlain and military general to Alfonso V of Naples, depicts the sitter wearing a fur-trimmed robe and a hat composed of a rolled hood (cappuccio) and long draped portion. The image on the reverse – a spherical earth with the sea and starry sky -- may have been inspired by Homer’s description of the shield of Achilles in the ancient Greek poem, the Iliad. This interpretation would celebrate d’Avalos’ military prowess; however, the image may also have astrological or biblical significance, alluding to the creation of the world or the influence of the stars. Above, flanked by two blossoming rose branches is a shield with a triple-towered castle, the arms of Avalos. This old aftercast has much wear, and the lower edge is missing.
