ENZOLA, GIANFRANCESCO(B.D.M., Vol. II, p. 22). Mr. Maurice
Rosenheim possesses a small Piedfort in bronze with busts on either
side of Francesco Sforza and Galeazzo Maria Sforza, evidently a
trial of the die for a small gold or silver coin. To this Engraver
Dr. Sambon ascribes the Portrait-coins of Sixtus IV (vide Martinetti
Sale Catalogue, 403). Probably the same as the following.
ENZOLA, GIAN FRANCESCO DI LUCA (B.D.M., Vol II, p. 22).
Goldsmith, Medallist, and Mint-engraver at Parma; flourished circa
I456-I478, according to Zani; and was still living in 15 3. Fabriczy
praises very highly the work of this Medallist, and observes in
connection with his fine medal of Costanzo Sforza: "In der
sch6nen Kopfseite leben - was Auffassung und Sorgfalt der
Arbeit betrifft - die besten Traditionen der Pasti, Petricini und
spateren Ferraresen, " and he further adds: " Nicht gliicklich ist
unser Kuinstler dagegen in den Kehrseiten (gewappnete Reiterfigur, ein Heer *iber eine Brucke ziehend, eine Veste in landschaftlicher Umgebung). In ihrer heraldischen Behandlung verraten
sie den Siegelschneider (es existiert von ihm in der That ein Siegel
der Stadt Parma)." Fabriczy, Medaillen der italienischen Renaissance,
p. 47.
