Belgium – Heroic Sacrifice for the Fatherland (WWI Allegorical Medal by J. Dupon)
Obverse:
A standing female figure, draped in classical robes, crowns a fallen naked warrior with a laurel wreath. The inscription reads: “PRO PATRIA BELGICA” (For the Belgian Fatherland). Signed in the field: Jesse Dupon.
Reverse:
A winged female figure on horseback, carrying the lifeless body of a fallen hero to the heavens. The radiant sun symbolizes eternal glory. Below, war debris including a lion-emblazoned shield lies in front of a ruined city. Inscription above: “HEROVM PRÆMIA” (The Rewards of Heroes). Signature in exergue: Jesse Dupon.
Historical context:
Created in the aftermath of World War I, this deeply symbolic medal by Belgian sculptor Jesse Dupon (1870–1931) evokes classical heroism and eternal remembrance. The obverse commemorates the sacrifice of Belgian soldiers with an image reminiscent of Roman funerary rites. The reverse elevates the fallen to mythic status, guided skyward by a winged genius, evoking both Christian redemption and ancient valor. The Latin inscriptions emphasize timeless honor and patriotic devotion.
