Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells of Jacques Gauvain, a French goldsmith, engraver, and medalist of the early 16th century. While his early life is not extensively documented, Jacques Gauvain's professional life was one of great skill and achievement in and around Lyon, France. He was best known for his medals depicting figures of religious and political prominence, some of which were modeled and cast by him personally. However, his roles varied from coin engraver and designer to the making of reliquaries and other ecclesiastical artifacts. This book examines Gauvain's life and work within the context of Lyonnais history, the art of the Renaissance, and the broader social and cultural trends of the time. Through detailed analysis of archival material, along with the author's familiarity with the history of Lyon, this book sheds light on the artistic production of an important figure in French Renaissance art and the vibrant culture of Lyon during this period.
