JEAN DASSIER (1676–1763) Portrait of Cardinal André-Hercule de Fleury (1653–1743) Bronze medal from 1736 depicting Cardinal de Fleury on the occasion of the 1735 peace treaty, with the inscription “ANDR HERCULES CARDINALIS DE FLEURY AET 81” (“aged 81”). Medal dimensions: 55 mm The Cardinal was one of the major political figures of 18th-century France: Bishop of Fréjus, appointed cardinal in 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII, and above all, de facto prime minister to Louis XV, serving from 1726 until his death in 1743—one of the most powerful ministers in French history. The engraver, Jean Dassier (1676–1763), was a famous Genevan medalist, best known for his extensive series of portraits of the kings of France and the illustrious men of his time.
