CANDIDA, GIOVANNI
CANDIDA, GIOVANNI (ltal.). One of the most celebrated Medallists of the end of the fifteenth century; born before 1450 and died after 1504.

CAPUTI
CAPUTI (Ital.). Medallist of the early part of the present century. There is a portrait of Cardinal Consalvi by him.

Lehnert's biography of the medallist Henri Francois Brandt. In the Duke of Cambridge's Sale (June 1904) was a circular onyx cameo of Saint George slaying the Dragon (The lesser George of the most noble Order of the Gar...
