In 1966-67 the Bowdoin College Museum of Art acquired nearly one thousand distinguished medals and plaquettes, generously donated by Amanda Marchesa Molinari, in memory of her husband, Cesare Molinari d'Incisa. Modeled after ancient precedents, medals and plaquettes, which emerged during the Renaissance, celebrated political, religious, and cultural leaders, as well as commemorating transformative events. The Molinari collection, one of the most distinguished in the United States, features masterpieces designed by leading Renaissance, Rococo, and Neoclassical artists, including Pisanello, Matteo de Pasti, Francesco da Sangallo, Guillaume Dupré, Nicolas Marie Gatteaux, and David d'Angers. Now with the support of an anonymous donor, the BCMA prepares, for the first time, to make this important resource available electronically on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of this gift.
