EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century terracotta portrait medallion depicts one of America's most influential founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). Created by the skilled Italian artist Giovanni Battista Nini (1703-1778), this masterpiece was produced during the 1770s. The intricately detailed terracotta medallion showcases a profile view of Franklin, with his thoughtful expression and distinctive bifocals. The artist expertly captured the essence of Franklin's wisdom and political acumen. Originally from Italy, Nini was known for his exceptional talent in creating jewelry and adornments, as well as his skill in pottery and sculpture. This medallion is a testament to his versatility and artistic prowess. The vibrant, richly colored terracotta material adds an authentic and historic touch, transporting us back to the 18th century. The medallion is now part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as a valuable piece of both American and world heritage. Franklin's image on this medallion serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to the political landscape of the United States and the world. As a writer, scientist, inventor, and diplomat, Franklin's impact on American history is immeasurable. This terracotta medallion is a unique and beautiful tribute to his legacy.
