The obverse of this medal shows Giam Battista Marini (1569-1628) and the reverse shows an inscription.\n\nGiambattista Marino (1569 – 1625) was an Italian poet from Naples. He is most well known for his long epic L'Adone. The Cambridge History of Italian Literature classified him as \"one of the greatest Italian poets of all time\". He is thought to be the founder of the school of Marinism (after his name, but later termed Secentismo), which is characterised by its use of extravagant and witty style of poetry. In Marino's poetry we encounter an extensive use of antithesis and wordplay, lavish descriptions and a musicality in the verse. \r\n","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"bronze","id":"AAT10957"}],"techniques":[{"text":"casting","id":"AAT53104"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Bronze","categories":[{"text":"Coins & Medals","id":"THES48974"},{"text":"Medallions","id":"THES49034"},{"text":"Bronze","id":"THES49033"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":[],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"041","id":"THES395786"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Medal","id":"AAT46025"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Italy","id":"x28927"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"late 16th century or early 17th century","earliest":"1550-01-01","latest":"1650-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"3.8","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Purchased in Paris (Piot sale, 1864, 25-30 April, 13s. 8d.).","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Medal, bronze, Giam Battista Marni, Italy (Neapolitan), late 16th or early 17th century","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Inventory of Art Objects acquired in the Year 1864. <font -u>Inventory of the Objects in the Art Division of the Museum at South Kensington, arranged According to the Dates of their Acquisition.
