Emile Dropsy (1848-1923), who came from a line of marble-makers, became an engraver, and over the course of his apprenticeship produced numerous medals inspired by religious themes. He received two awards for his engraving skills. Today, he appears as an attractive artist, "the purest of religious medallists and the most sincere of landscape artists".
