Portrait of Ludovico Maria Sforza, called “il Moro”
ca. 1495/97 | Domenico de' Cammei (Domenico de' Rossi?)
The interest in classical antiquity during the 15th century not only made carved antique gemstones desired collectables. The technique itself, divided between cameos carved in relief and engraved intaglios, also experienced a revival in Italy. Subject matter and forms of representation were likewise adopted from antique prototypes, for example the profile portrait.
