The medal of John VIII Palaeologus is a portrait medal by the Italian Renaissance artist Pisanello. It is generally considered to be the first portrait medal of the Renaissance. On the obverse of the medal is a profile portrait of the penultimate Byzantine emperor, John VIII Palaeologus; the reverse contains an image of the emperor on horseback before a wayside cross. Although the date of the work is not clear it was likely to have been some time during 1438 and 1439, the years John was in Italy attending the Council of Ferrara (later moved to Florence). It is not known whether the emperor himself or his Italian hosts commissioned Pisanello to make the medal, but Leonello d’Este, the heir apparent to the marquisate of Ferrara, has been suggested as the most likely candidate.

  • La médaille de Jean VIII Paléologue représente l'empereur byzantin Jean VIII. Œuvre de l'artiste italien Pisanello datée de 1438-1439, elle est considérée comme le premier portrait de ce type de la Renaissance. L'avers figure le portrait de profil du souverain et le revers un dessin du même empereur à cheval. Elle a été réalisée à l'occasion de la venue de Jean VIII en Italie pour le concile de Florence. Le client de cette commande demeure inconnue, qu'il s'agisse de l'empereur ou bien d'un noble italien, même si Lionel d'Este, marquis de Ferrare, est le candidat le plus probable. (fr)
