CORADINI, LUDOVICO (ltal.). Medallist, and Scultore de terre, of Modena, who worked at Ferrara, for Duke Ercole d'Este, circa 1471. His signature on the following medals is : OPVS CORADINI M. : Ercole I. d'Este, 1471-1505. R. (a) Young Hercules standing near the three columns of Gades; (b) Ring set with pointed diamond; in the centre, a flower; — Charles VIII. of France. R. Same as last (the obv. of this medal is probably by a later artist). Another medal, with similar R., unsigned, and bearing on obv. a portrait of Rinaldo d'Este, is considered to be Coradini's work. Fabriczy asserts that the medal of Duke Ercole d'Este, with R. Hercules (illustrated) is the only one that can be safely ascribed to this artist. The author of Trésor de Numismatique et de Glyptique, Paris, 1834, has erroneously ascribed to this artist some portrait-medals of Pisano, which bear on the R. the letters F.S.K.I.P.F.T. interpreted as FranciscuS KorradinI Pictor FeciT; these letters are however simply the initials of the seven virtues : Fides, Spes, Karitas, Justitia, Prudentia, Fortitudo, Temperantia !
