介绍（中）	十三岁的伊索塔·德利·阿蒂（Isotta degli Atti）是一位美丽的商人的女儿，激发了里米尼统治者西吉斯蒙多·马拉泰斯塔（Sigismondo Malatesta）的激情。1446年纪念西吉斯蒙多巩固政治权力并赢得伊索塔作为情妇的一年;她后来成为他的妻子。西吉斯蒙多将他自己和伊索塔的肖像奖章嵌入他建筑物的墙壁上，作为他胜利统治的遗产。在这里，利玛窦以温柔和敏感捕捉了少女的美丽。奖牌背面描绘的大象是动物表现的杰作，既自然主义又富有象征意义。作为里米尼马拉泰斯塔家族最喜欢的纹章装置之一，大象象征着皇室的力量和赋予不朽的名声。在献给Isotta degli Atti的肖像奖章的背景下，大象象征着她的虔诚和贞洁，以及名声和权力。作为意大利奖牌获得者、建筑师、画家和照明师，Matteo de Pasti 居住在里米尼宫廷，在那里他为圣弗朗西斯科的 Sigismondo Malatesta 和 Isotta 建造和装饰了两座大型葬礼教堂（被称为 Tempio Malatestiano）。与为马拉泰斯塔制作奖牌的皮萨内洛一样，马特奥也作为奖牌获得者活跃在里米尼宫廷。
介绍（英）	A beautiful merchant’s daughter, the thirteen-year-old Isotta degli Atti inspired the passion of Sigismondo Malatesta, the ruler of Rimini. The date 1446 commemorates the year Sigismondo consolidated his political power and won Isotta as his mistress; she later became his wife. Sigismondo embedded portrait medals of himself and Isotta in the walls of his buildings as a legacy of his triumphant reign. Here, Matteo captures the teenage beauty with tenderness and sensitivity. The elephant portrayed on the medal’s reverse is a masterpiece of animal representation, at once naturalistic and richly symbolic. As one of the favorite heraldic devices of the Malatesta family of Rimini, the elephant signifies regal strength and the fame that confers immortality. In the context of a portrait medal devoted to Isotta degli Atti, the elephant symbolizes her piety and chastity, in addition to fame and power. An Italian medallist, architect, painter, and illuminator, Matteo de Pasti resided at the court of Rimini where he worked on the construction and decoration of two large funerary chapels for Sigismondo Malatesta and Isotta in San Francesco (known as the Tempio Malatestiano). Like Pisanello, who had produced medals for the Malatesta, Matteo was also active as a medallist at the Rimini court.
