<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3227309, member: 5833&quot;]The resource I am using is the 2 volume <i>La collezione Paoletti/Stampi in vetro per impronte di intagli e cammei</i>.&nbsp; In tomo VI, impressions 1 - 200 are all of gems engraved by Antonio Santarelli; Psyche &amp; Eros are #s 183 &amp; 184.&nbsp; So the paste cameos in the tiara are also copies.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen her in Berlin Iron too:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]296952[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The collection the books catalogue is huge, thousands of impressions from thousands of years. I have only dipped in here &amp; there as needed, not gone through them in any systematic way, but it appears that few, if any, of the impressions were taken from modeling by Paoletti.&nbsp; Gem engravers of the 18th &amp; 19th century, such as the Pichlers, took inspiration from the sculptural works of Canova, Thorvaldsen, Gibson, etc., converting them to intaglios.&nbsp; For example, Luigi Pichler was the author of many of Paoletti&#039;s Works of Canova.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
