CANDIDA, GIOVANNI (B.D.M., Vol. I, I904, p. 334). Further
notes on this remarkable medallist will be found in D' Thieme's
Allgeemi. Kfinster-Lexikon, v, 495.
Among the medals which'may be ascribed to him with the greatest
degree of certainty are: Antonio Graziadei, signed CANDID; probably before 1475;- Juan de Palomar, Neapolitan ambassador to
the French Court; - Charles the Bold and Maximilian of Austria,
sign. OPUS CAND (between 1475 and 1477); - Maximilian or
Antoine de Bourgogne.
Austria and Mary of Burgundy (I477 and 1479); Jean Carrondelet and Marguerite Chasse; - Jean de la Gruthuse and Jean
Miette (1479); - icolas Ruter (I482); - Robert Briconnet,
archbishop of Rheims; Giuliano and Clemente della Rovere.
His influence, if the medals are not by his own hand, is very
marked in the following: Pierre de Courthardy; - Guillaume des
Perriers; - Pierre de Sacierges; - Pierre Briconnet; - Thomas
Bohier; - Francois de Valois ( 504); -Louise de Valois and her
daughter, Marguerite, etc. The two medals bearing the artist's own
portrait are probably not by him.
