Context:

Recto: The illegitimate son of Leonello d'Este, ruler of Ferrara, Francesco was sent in 1444 to the Netherlands, where he received his education and military training at the court of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy. This portrait was made about 1460, when Francesco was around thirty years old. The hammer and ring he holds may be jousting prizes or symbols of power. Verso: These are the arms and crest of the Este family, quartered with the honor bestowed on the house of Este in 1432 by Charles VII of France. |
