- Cametti’s masterpiece is his Diana the Huntress, which was originally located in the centre of a fountain at the Palazzo Orsini in Rome. It combines the elegance of French sculpture with Baroque monumentality. The sculptor was the only Italian artist to enjoy the privilege of having a studio at the Académie Française, Rome. Three decades later, the stone base sculpted as a rocky outcrop with oak branches and a Green Man face was added by Pascal Latour (1702-1756).
