Uber den Künstler

Pierre Aury was the son of Augustin I Aury. He lived most of his life in France where he executed medals for Louis XIV. He also spent some time in Holland where he made the medal commemorating the massacre of the brothers John and Cornelius de Witt.
Pierre Aury apparently is the same person as an F. Avry, to whom this medal is sometimes attributed. Also, according to Forrer: Kramm suggests that the signature AURY [it is actually signed AVRY] designated the sculptor P.[Pieter] Xavery, who did not wish to disclose his name in connection with the execution of this medal.
