Suite of Vases: Plate 19, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 19, 1746. Designing ornamental vases or urns was particularly popular during the mid-18th century since the only limit to the possibilities was the imagination of the artist. Saly, a sculptor by training, was a student at the French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746, at which time he published a set of 30 etchings. Saly began with basic antique vase forms but deviated from classical ornament to use a rich variety of fantastic creatures for embellishment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Suite of Vases: Plate 19,1746" a masterpiece created by the talented Jacques Francois Saly. During the mid-18th century, designing ornamental vases or urns was all the rage, as artists were given free rein to unleash their imagination onto these exquisite pieces. Saly, known primarily as a sculptor, honed his skills at the prestigious French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746. It was during this time that he published a remarkable series of 30 etchings. In this particular plate, Saly took inspiration from ancient vase forms but infused them with his own unique touch. Departing from classical ornamentation, he adorned the vases with an array of fantastical creatures that add an enchanting and whimsical element to each piece. The etching itself is a testament to Saly's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring every creature and decorative element to life on paper. Preserved within this print is not only a work of art but also a glimpse into the artistic trends and influences prevalent during the vibrant era of the 18th century in France. This stunning creation now resides in The Cleveland Museum of Art, serving as a reminder of Jacques Francois Saly's immense talent and contribution to French art history.
