Suite of Vases: Plate 16, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 16, 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 16,1746" a remarkable creation 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 own imagination. Saly, who initially trained as a sculptor, spent six years at the prestigious French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746. It was during this time that he published a set of thirty etchings. In this particular piece, Saly took inspiration from ancient vase forms but added his unique touch by incorporating an array of fantastical creatures for embellishment. The result is an exquisite blend of classical elegance and imaginative whimsy. The etching itself dates back to the 18th century and is a testament to Saly's artistic prowess. Its intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the creative mind of Jacques Francois Saly and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty found within historical art forms. Captured expertly by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, this photograph preserves not just an artwork but also its rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
