THE MEDALS OF MATTEO DE' PASTI. 311<strong>The</strong> church <strong>of</strong> San Francesco, though unfinished, was dedicatedin 1450 (VF = Votum fecit). <strong>The</strong> attribution <strong>of</strong> this medal toPasti has, I believe, never been doubted. In character, however,<strong>the</strong> portrait differs somewhat from those on his o<strong>the</strong>r medals,resembling more <strong>the</strong> relief in a square frame in San Francesco.(<strong>The</strong> portrait in a wreath, on a pillar in <strong>the</strong> Chapel <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Madonnadell' Acqua, is a much finer work.) <strong>The</strong> date 1450 is also late <strong>and</strong>isolated in <strong>the</strong> series <strong>of</strong> medals ;but this in itself may account for<strong>the</strong> slight change in style, if Pasti had done no medals for threeor four years.23.
