Vittore Gambello "Camelio", Venice, 1530's, The Divine Cleopatra 33mm Brass Medal
|Other| |Medieval| |&| |Modern|, |Vittore| |Gambello| |"Camelio",| |Venice,| |1530's,| |The| |Divine| |Cleopatra| |33mm| |Brass| |Medal|, Vittore di Antonio Gambello, called Camelio, c. 1455/60 1537, was a sculptor, armorer, die engraver, jeweler, and medalist. He studied drawing under Jacopo Bellini. Camelio was the engraver at the zecca in Venice from 1484 to 1510 and engraver at the Papal Mint from 1513 to 1516.

Attwood and others have attributed this type to Belli but Flaten discusses how others have convincingly attributed it to Camelio based on style and his similar works.
