Having her portrait made by a Milanese medallist was part of the process of presenting herself to the world as a Habsburg bride. At about the same time, the Habsburg court portraitist, Antonis Mor (about 1516-1576), was sent to paint Mary&#8217;s portrait. Jacopo may even have gone with him to London; the images by the painter and the medallist are closely related.<\/p>\n<p>The medal survives in many other silver and bronze examples.
