'Campana' reliefs take their name from Giampietro Campana, Marchese di Cavelli (1808-1880), a prolific collector of Greek and Roman art, who had a number of these reliefs in his collection.
Campana reliefs were often made from moulds, from which several copies of the same scene could be taken, and then finished by hand. The British Museum holds a pair of 'Four Seasons' reliefs which is strikingly similar to the present example (nos 1805.7-3.334 and 1805.7-3.328). A third 'Four Seasons' relief, Christie's, New York, 5 June 1998, lot 167, is again extremely similar, suggesting if not a shared mould, then perhaps a shared workshop.
