Creator (Role)

Luigi Saulini (Draftsman)
1819-1893
Italian family of gem-engravers. Tommaso Saulini (b Rome, 1793; d Rome, 24 June 1864) and his son Luigi Saulini (b Rome, 1819; d Rome, 1893) had a cameo-carving workshop in Rome that they maintained successively from c. 1830 to 1883. Their activities were divided between the production of carved portraits and ambitious compositions based on Classical sculptures, ancient gems or contemporary Neo-classical subjects taken from the work of such leading contemporary artists as Bertel Thorvaldsen (with whom Tommaso had trained) and John Gibson.
