[QUOTE="Cachecoins, post: 4290253, member: 111237"]Simple but elegant. He was not the greatest engraver (although some of his work was truly outstanding) but he was very good and a work horse minting official coinage for 3 emperors, local royalty, official city medals and portrait medals and private and Civic issues. I love the fact that he went straight from engraving portrait medals and coins for Joseph II, one unfinished example exists, to these issues without skipping a beat and when it was all over he started immediately on coins and medals of Leopold II. A true master without doubt. [IMG]http://www.theodoorvanberckel.nl/img/josef1789.jpg[/IMG] Unfinished portrait of Joseph II just before the revolution. [IMG]http://www.theodoorvanberckel.nl/img/hertogkarel.jpg[/IMG] Medal struck for the Academies Des Beaux-arts showing his portrait of the very popular Duke Charles Alexander of Lorraine, brother in of Maria Theresa who ruled in her name in the southern provinces.[/QUOTE]
