Guilio Romano was not a fictional sculptor, unless you mean that he
sculpted fictional subjects.

I suppose the goldsmith in C/E is a similar type of character.

Hugh Grady asks for painters and poets in Shakespeare's works. In
addition to the ones he himself mentions, there are of course Gower in
*Pericles* and (on a different note) the Rival Poet of the Sonnets. A
highly interesting case of the use of an historical author as a way of
indirect self-representation is the figure of Cremutius Cordus in Ben
Jonson's Sejanus. And if the list will forgive me a bit of relevant
self-advertising, in 1999 my colleague Ton Hoenselaars and myself edited
a volume of essays on *The Author as Character: Representing Historical
Writers in Western Literature* with Fairleigh Dickinson UP.

Well worth reviewing in this context is the expanded painter scene in
Spanish Tragedy, probably added by Jonson in 1601/1602.

Also see Bednarz' Shakespeare and The Poet's War (2001), which comments
on this passage. (On holiday, don't have the book with me, so can't give
details, or the exact scene in Spanish Tragedy.)

Thanks,
Steve
