    🔹 To know

    Definition of cameo: "The word 'cameo' comes from the Italian cameo"...

    A cameo is a relief engraving, made on a stone with layers of contrasting colors (often agate, onyx, shell) or on glass. Unlike intaglio (incised engraving), the cameo brings out the design by subtracting layers.

    The cameo is a technique of engraving, or even low-relief sculpture, of glyptics used mainly on materials with contrasting color layers (camaïeu).

    It is about taking advantage of this structure by bringing out these colors in desired places to create shapes. This technique has applications in hard stone work, glass, and even mortar.


    🕰️ Period: 17th century (1600–1699):

    🎨 Artistic context:

    The 17th century marks the Baroque, with its expressive and dynamic forms.

    The ancient cameos of this era are often made of agate, carnelian, sardonyx, or shell. Mounted on brooches, rings, necklaces, sometimes set in gold or silver.

    Illustrating mythological figures, royal profiles, biblical scenes, or allegorical emblems.
