Suite of Vases: Plate 23, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 23, 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 23,1746" 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 only limited by their imagination. Saly, known for his sculpting skills, spent six years studying at the prestigious French Academy in Rome and later published a collection of 30 etchings. In this particular piece, Saly takes inspiration from ancient vase forms but adds his own unique twist. Instead of classical ornamentation, he incorporates an array of fantastical creatures to embellish these exquisite vases. The result is a rich tapestry of mythical beings that captivate viewers with their intricate details and imaginative designs. Dating back to the 18th century, this etching represents both the artistic trends and technical mastery prevalent during that era. With its delicate lines and meticulous attention to detail, it serves as a testament to Saly's skillful craftsmanship. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into France's artistic heritage. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully captured this remarkable artwork for all art enthusiasts to admire and appreciate today.
