Donizetti, Gaetano. (1797–1848) [Caqué, Armand Auguste (1793–1881)]. 1852 Portrait Medal. Striking 1852 bronze portrait medal by Caqué. 46 mm. Recto shows the composer in bust profile, with "Gaetan Donizetti." Verso with the text: "Lucrezia Borgia / Lucie de Lamermoor / La Fille du Regiment / Les Martyrs. La Favorite / Catarina Canaro / L'Elixir d'Amour / Don Pasquale." In very fine condition. Andorfer, Epstein 207.
Attractive example from the celebrated engraver from the Restoration through the Second Empire who became a royal favorite of the dauphin's wife in 1822, building his prominence amongst the engraving circles. Along with designing and engraving hundreds of jetons (especially for notaries), Caqué created medals and money for the restored Bourbon monarchy, Louis Philippe, the Second Republic, the Second Empire (Official Engraver to the Emperor), and the Third Republic.
