Jacopo da Trezzo by Antonis Mor, 1550s
- ... that the Italian medallist Jacopo da Trezzo (portrait, right) travelled to London to make his medal commemorating the marriage of Mary I of England and the future Philip II of Spain in 1554? Source: "he entered the service of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (1500–1558) and his son Philip of Spain (1527–1598), a major step in his career that would take him first to England and later to Spain. His portrait medals of Philip and his second wife Mary Tudor, Queen of England (1516–1558), dated 1554–55, bear allegories of the utmost refinement on the reverse and are justly famous.....Indeed it was during his stay in London that the formal appointment of Jacopo da Trezzo as escultor to Philip of Spain took place under the same terms as the royal order commanding Anthonis Mor to his salaried position as court painter. On 20 December 1554, in London, Philip signed a royal order for Mor to enter his service at a salary of three hundred escudos per annum; the same for Jacopo da Trezzo on New Year's day 1555." from Portrait of Jacopo da Trezzo (c. 1514–1589) by Anthonis Mor, Sotheby's, Lot 22, Old Masters Evening Sale, London, 4 December, 2019 (sold, £1.93 million)

Interesting article, I hadn't thought people specialized in making medals. It was newly created and is plenty large and sourced throughout. I assume good faith on the Italian and Spanish texts in the article, but I can read Sotheby's. It's neutrally written. I don't think ALT1 is focusing on overly negative aspects of the person, it's acknowledging the role of slaves, but YMMV. I approve both hooks. QPQ is provided. The portrait looks great at that size and is freely licensed in the public domain. Ciao. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:11, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
