介绍（中）	活跃于维罗纳和意大利宫廷的著名大师皮萨内洛留下了重要的遗产，包括大量的素描和几幅画作。他还是纪念肖像奖章的发明者。这些奖章的灵感来自罗马硬币，背面有统治者的肖像和寓言，纪念个人或事件，并用作礼物和纪念品。维托里诺·兰巴尔多尼·达·费尔特雷是一位著名的人文主义者和教师，曼图亚侯爵吉安弗朗切斯科·冈萨加（Gianfrancesco Gonzaga）聘请他教育他的孩子。前学生卢多维科·冈萨加（Ludovico Gonzaga）可能在维托里诺去世时委托颁发了这枚奖章，以纪念他敬爱的老师。奖牌的背面是一只喂幼鸟的鸟。它可能代表鹈鹕，这是基督牺牲的传统象征，因为人们相信鹈鹕用自己造成的伤口的鲜血喂养幼崽。这只鸟也被确定为凤凰，据维托里诺的一名学生说，这代表了他作为老师的自我牺牲。
介绍（英）	Active in Verona and the Italian courts, the celebrated master Pisanello left behind a significant legacy, including a large corpus of drawings and several paintings. He was also the inventor of the commemorative portrait medal. Inspired by Roman coins, with their portraits of rulers and allegorical representations on the reverse, the medals commemorated individuals or events and functioned as gifts and mementoes. Vittorino Rambaldoni da Feltre was a celebrated humanist and teacher whom the marquess of Mantua, Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, engaged to educate his children. Ludovico Gonzaga, a former student, probably commissioned the medal to honor his beloved teacher around the time of Vittorino’s death. On the medal’s reverse is a bird feeding its young. It may represent a pelican, a traditional symbol of Christ’s sacrifice due to the belief that the pelican fed its young from the blood of a self-inflicted wound. The bird has also been identified as a phoenix, which, according to one of Vittorino’s pupils, represented his self-sacrifice as a teacher.
