Like many Renaissance engravers, Jacopo Caraglio (ca. 1500-1565) trained with a goldsmith. Side by side with graphic work, he cut medals and cameos (like the one above) for royal and noble patrons. The engraved portrait of popular contemporary author Pietro Aretino (below) was made to look as cameo-like as possible.
