Catalogue Note
Cette composition se fonde sur une gravure d’Aldegrever de 1528, et on la retrouve sur une médaille similaire dans la collection Samuel Kress, une autre au cabinet des médailles à Berlin. Réalisé par un artiste actif à Nuremberg entre 1532-40, qui s’est installé ensuite dans le nord de l’Allemagne, le coq est l’emblème de la famille Hahn de Mecklenbourg.
