Medals with a portrait of Duje Rendić-Miočević (*Split 19.VI.1916 - +Zagreb 30.IV.1993)

There are two portraits of Duje Rendić-Miočević on medals. Once he was portrayed during his life and once posthumously. Both medals are first class works and the portraits are excellent. First D. Rendić-Miočević was portrayed by the well-known Slovene medallist Stane (Stanislav) Dremelj (b. Vrhnika, 9 September 1906 - d. 1992), who, through his wife Vida, was related to the Rendić-Miočević family by her first marriage to Sergije Rendić-Miočević, Duje's cousin twice removed, . Duje Rendić-Miočević was very highly thought of by Vida Dremelj, which resulted in a friendship between her first husband's cousin and her second husband and which also resulted in the idea of making of a portrait medal. The first version of the portrait was probably made as early as 1956. (PETRU-MIKUŽ 1982: 12-13 var.). The unreduced model was made in 1967, 146 mm in diameter, which was then cast in bronze and used for the reduction, but much later. There is a medallion of thin pressed copper foil with the Rendić-Miočević family. The medal itself was struck in 1974. The obverse was published in the periodical &laquo ; Vjesnik Arheološkog muzeja u Zagrebu&raquo ; , 3.s., 16-17/1984, the volume dedicated to Duje Rendić-Miočević. There is a specimen of the medal in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, presented to the Numismatic Collection by the Museum director Ante Rendić-Miočević in 2002, and there are several plaster casts of the unreduced medal: Obv.: DOMNIO RENDIĆ-MIOČEVIĆ*SAGACI RERUM ILLYRICARUM INDAGATORI. Bust facing left. Signature bottom: SD/1967. Rev.: Both obverse and reverse of a coin of the Illyrian king Ballaios, with the obverse slightly covering the reverse. Signature bottom: ST.DREMELJ 1974 Bronze. Dim.: Φ 47mm. (PETRU - MIKUŽ 1982:12-13 var.) 538:ZAG E46818 (Ante Rendić-Miočević, Zagreb, gift, 2002). Stane Dremelj, engraver and medallist was a Zagreb student, a pupil of the great master medallist Ivo Kerdić, and later he also studied in Italy. Between 1946 to his retirement he taught at the Fine Arts School in Ljubljana. He exhibited a great deal, for instance at the National Museum in Ljubljana in 1981 ; at Radovljica in 1982 and in 2001 at the Cankar House at Vrhnika (at the same time some works of his younger brother, the painter Franc Aco Dremelj, were shown). Stane Dremelj's best known medal is the one with the portrait of the Slovene poet Dr. France Prešeren, 340 mm in diameter, which was made in 1939. One version of the Prešeren medal, 140 mm in diameter was sold for 25.000 Slovene tolars in 2004. godine. Medals by Dremelj are few in number ; they are kept in some Slovene museums in Ljubljana, Kranj and the Slovene National Museum in Ljubljana. At Dolenji Logatec – Brod, also in Slovenia, he modelled reliefs for a chapel, constructed in the shape of a well, which was designed in 1929 by Plečnik's pupil Ciril Oblak. Among the Slovene medallists of our times the most productive was Vladimir Štoviček, his senior by ten years, and medals were also made from time to time by Lojze Dolinar, Boris Pengov and Anton Sever. The other medal bearing the portrait of Duje Rendić-Miočević was made in 2003 by Stjepan Divković, (b. Pogorioc, 10 January 1961) as a commission of the Croatian Numismatic Society, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its foundation. The medal looks like this: Av.: DUJE RENDIĆ-MIOČEVIĆ right. Head, with spectacles, turned to the left. Signature bottom right.: SD 2003. ; on a lowered disc ; on the left side there are replicas of six specimens of various Greek-Illyrian coins (obverses). Rv.: 75.OBLJETNICA&middot ; 2003. left ; the emblem of the Croatian Numismatic Society in a recession, left ; on the right there are replicas of six specimens of various Greek-Illyrian coins (reverses). Cast bronze. Dim.: Φ 97mm. 538:ZAG E47987 (Croatian Numismatic Society, Zagreb, gift 2003.). Divković's medal is very good, not only regarding the portrait, but also the design. Some experts even thought that S. Divković made impressions of original coins into the clay. In fact he carefully drew everything and modelled them after the original coins. Stjepan Divković, one of the most gifted and hard-working contemporary Croatian medallists has been part of our art life for quite a few years (cf. MIRNIK 1991). He graduated in 1986 at the Fine Arts Academy in Zagreb, in the class of Professor Stipe Sikirice. His works have regularly been shown at the Ivo Kerdić Memorial Exhibitions since 1987 (MESINGER 1987). For the Croatian Archaeological Society he has produced several award medals, and is the author of a considerable number of cast and struck medals. Some of them were struck not only in Croatia, , but also in Canada and Switzerland.
