Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Renaissance terracotta medallion portrait bust of a Roman empress, sculpted by Giovanni da Majano circa 1510, Hampton Court Palace. Text per "The Hampton Court terracotta roundels project", Conservation Journal of the Victoria and Albert Museum, Spring 2009 Issue 57[1]:

"In the late 1510s Cardinal Thomas Wolsey commissioned the Italian sculptor Giovanni da Majano to create eight painted and gilded terracotta roundels (octo rotundas imagines, ex terra depictas et deauratas), each representing the bust of a Roman emperor. The roundels were destined to decorate Wolsey's newly-refurbished palace at Hampton Court in Surrey. Presently there are a total of 10 roundels mounted on the exterior of three gatehouses and in addition to these a single roundel of a Roman empress is kept in store within the palace. The addition of three roundels to the original Wolsey set of eight is accounted for by historic repair and restoration programmes".
