| Description |  |
Nicknamed Antico (Italian for "ancient") because of his copies of Roman portrait busts and small versions of ancient statues, this artist was trained as a goldsmith and often adopted the ancient technique of contrasting the dark brown of bronze with gold or silver, as in the eyes here.
