A MID 19TH CENTURY AGATE AND GOLD CAMEO BROOCH, BY GIROMETTIThe agate carved to depict the bust of goddess Artemis, within a scrolling openwork gold frame, mounted in 18K gold, signed Girometti, engraved 'PG' on the reverse, possibly for Pietro Girometti, length 5.3cmPietro Girometti (1811-1859) was a distinguished Italian gem-engraver and medallist. From 1838 he worked as an engraver at the Papal Mint and succeeded his father, Giuseppe Girometti (1780-1851) as Head Engraver. Pietro is especially well regarded for his medals, which are valuable for their portraits. His gem engraving is also among the finest produced in the nineteenth century; however, it is easily confused with his father’s work. Both father and son worked closely together on several important commissions and each signed their work “GIROMETTI”. Subtle differences in the style of their signatures help to distinguish their work. Pietro’s signatures are slightly more elaborated than Giuseppe’s simpler versions. The goddess portrayed in this cameo brooch is believed to be Artemis. The face bears a striking resemblance to the Classical Greek sculpture “Artemis, goddess of the hunt, known as the Diana of Versailles”, currently held at the Louvre, Paris. Artemis is both the goddess of the hunt, usually depicted with a bow and arrow, as well as the goddess of chastity. Her other distinguishing attribute is a crescent moon, often seen in cameo depictions of her.
