  Abstract:  Heraldic Representations in Baroque Medal Work. Deemed theoretically the most important sovereigns of Europe, the Habsburgs were careful with the prestige that heraldry might ensure before the world. Beyond proper heraldry, the consecrated symbols in this historical field conquered the artistic space. There are heraldic influences or direct representations in a series of works of art extremely appreciated by the public. Blazons were ingeniously inserted in imperial propaganda materials, including the medals of the 17th-18th Centuries. The concision and powerful symbolism of the heraldic language conquered medal work. Heraldry became a useful tool that transformed the small space of the medal in an area laden with symbolic connotations, a sector with infinite expressive opportunities illustrated on some of the presented medals.

Keywords: medal study, heraldry, Baroque art
