Charles V and Philip II of Spain. Cameo carved in a variety of onyx called sardonyx, showing the overlapping profiles of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), who was also Charles I of Spain, and his son who succeeded him as Philip II of Spain (15267-1598). This type of overlapping profile is known as a jugate portrait. Behind the two men is a winged thunderbolt. The carving, which dates from 1550, is by the renowned Hapsburg Italian court sculptor Leone Leoni. | |
