EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Antique Lidded Vase with Two Handles emerging from the Heads of Hybrid Female Sphinxes. Created by Italian artist Enea Vico in the 16th century, this piece is a true testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of decorative arts during that era. The vase features two intricately designed handles that emerge gracefully from the heads of mythical female sphinxes, adding a touch of mystique to its overall aesthetic. The symmetry and attention to detail in this artwork are truly remarkable, highlighting Vico's mastery as an engraver. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this antique artifact takes us on a journey back in time, immersing us in the rich history and mythology it represents. The combination of mythological creatures such as sphinxes with everyday objects like vases adds depth and intrigue to this piece. As we gaze upon this close-up photograph, we can't help but appreciate how it captures every intricate line and curve on the vase's surface. Its monochromatic palette enhances its timeless appeal while emphasizing its fine details. Enea Vico's Antique Lidded Vase serves as a reminder of our cultural heritage and artistic legacy. It invites us to explore ancient civilizations' beliefs and stories through their art forms—a true treasure preserved for generations to come at The Met.
