介绍（中）	这个罕见的蜡模传达了索尔达尼艺术的非凡精致。它照亮了雕刻模型的精度和清晰度，金属复制品将从中铸造出来。艺术家在白色坚硬的蜂蜡和石膏中工作，以精湛的技艺捕捉了保姆的相貌和头发的复杂性。蜡模是真正的原创;用它制成的铸件，无论多么精细，都永远不会达到相同的质量水平。用于奖牌的石板蜡模型相对较少，现存的马西米利亚诺·索尔达尼（Massimiliano Soldani）的蜡模型也很少。正面（1975.1.1320a）描绘了弗朗切斯科·雷迪（Francesco Redi），他是托斯卡纳大公的宫廷物理学家，也是一位诗人，哲学家和博物学家，他在十七世纪佛罗伦萨的科学和文化世界中发挥了重要作用。他是医学研究领域的先驱，被称为实验生物学和现代寄生虫学的创始人。背面（1975.1.1320b）显示的汹涌大海上的厨房图像象征着抵抗逆境的强大灵魂，而四颗恒星代表"美第奇行星"，这是伽利略发现的木星的四颗卫星，以科西莫二世·德·美第奇命名。
介绍（英）	This rare wax model conveys the extraordinary refinement of Soldani’s art. It illuminates the precision and clarity of the carved model from which copies in metal would have been cast. Working in hard beeswax colored white with gypsum, the artist captured the intricacies of the sitter’s physiognomy and hair with great virtuosity. The wax model is the true original; the casts made from it, no matter how fine, never quite reach the same level of quality. Wax-on-slate models for medals are relatively rare, and there are few extant wax modelli by Massimiliano Soldani. The obverse (1975.1.1320a) portrays Francesco Redi, who was court phyisician to the grand dukes of Tuscany, and was also a poet, philospher and naturalist, who played a signficant role in the scientific and cultural world of seventeenth-century Florence. A pioneer in the field of medical research, he is known as the founder of experimental biology and modern parasitology. The image of a galley on a turbulent sea, shown on the reverse (1975.1.1320b), symbolizes a strong soul resisting adversity, while the four stars represent the "Medici planets," four satellites of Jupiter discovered by Galileo and named after Cosimo II de’ Medici.
