Beautiful medal by Fons Bemelmans, issued in 1974 by VPK (Association for Medal Art).
The whole is in neat condition. The first two photos are of the medal in question. The last two photos come from the VPK site, for a good impression of the medal.
Monogrammed on the front.
Bemelmans started as a goldsmith but gradually developed into a sculptor with a preference for curving, highly plastic shapes. His design 'Le couple' depicts a man and a woman in an intimate embrace. An eternal theme, without it we would not be here. However, it has not become naturalism, which can make the subject so annoying; but a loving observation of a natural fact. The sculptor had difficulty with the shape and placement of the legs on the surface; despite those awkwardly placed legs, it has become one of the Association's most popular releases. The other side is a labyrinth: the path through heights and depths before one finds the other. (source website VPK)
