Historical Context:
This bronze portrait medal depicts G. F. Farber, engraved by the Belgian medallist Lamon. Such portrait medals were often created in the mid-20th century to honor notable personalities in various fields, ranging from industry to academia and cultural life. The detailed modeling of the face reflects Lamon’s characteristic style, emphasizing realism and individuality. Unlike award or commemorative issues, this piece appears to be a private or small-edition production, intended either as a personal tribute or as part of a limited series of contemporary portraiture medals. Today, these medals are valued as both works of art and as tangible records of individuals who held a place of significance in Belgian society.
