<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 580629, member: 5833"]Could be, although what generally happened was that some master engraver first copied a Thorvaldsen relief or a Canova sculpture as an intaglio. There was such a craze for impressions of these gems, the designs were widely circulated, including to cameo cutters. It's possible there is an engraved intaglio that made the change first. Suppose I will have to look, even if only for my own curiosity. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
