Italian workshop
Cameo portrait
Alabaster
Dimensions: D. 7 (cm.)
Probably Italy, second half of the 19th century

A relief profile portrait of Ariosto in honey-colored alabaster, set against an ochre-brown background of the same material. Framed in brass.

A souvenir of the Grand Tour
Iconography linked to the great men of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance was a favorite theme of 19th-century Italian artists. Mostly destined for the English and French, portraits in cameo imitation were intended to be taken to neighboring countries as a souvenir of the trip to Italy. There's a whole production linked to this voyage, such as small mosaics, marble busts and so on.
