Beautiful medal by Nynke Jelles-Schepers, issued by the Vereniging voor Penningkunst in 1972.
The Italian pedagogue Maria Montessori (1870-1952) had no time for rigid educational systems and she advocated an approach in which the individual qualities of the child were paramount. She also gained a lot of support in the Netherlands with her ideas. On the occasion of her hundredth birthday, she was commemorated with a medal by Nynke Jelles-Schepers, a pupil of Esser. The eighty-year-old appears with a fur stole and gloves, her raised hands are essential for her manner of expression. The design has been deliberately kept somewhat vague: Jelles-Scheper sought a harmonious, flowing transition from figure to background, not a sharply outlined image on a flat surface. On the back, the young, free person is depicted, a child seen from behind. Surrounding this is a beloved statement by Montessori: 'Via d'amore indicata dal bambino'. The path of love is shown by the child. (source VVPK)
