The Cassollette: Women Supporting an Urn, c. 1520-27. Creator: Marco Dente (Italian, c
The Cassollette: Women Supporting an Urn, c. 1520-27. Prints helped disseminate design ideas and establish a taste for decorative objects and styles, especially when endorsed with royal insignia. Adapted from Greek architecture, two caryatids--draped female figures used as pillars--hold aloft an ornamental incense burner designed by Raphael about 1515-20 for King Francois I (reigned 1515-1547). The lily-shaped fleurs-de-lis on its lid allude to the French monarchy. The salamanders adorning the side of the vessel specifically refer to Francois I, who chose this amphibian as his personal emblem. According to legend, salamanders could survive fire, making them even more meaningful on a burner

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Cassollette: Women Supporting an Urn" a remarkable piece of art created by Marco Dente around 1520-27. Prints like this played a significant role in spreading design ideas and cultivating a taste for decorative objects and styles, particularly when endorsed with royal insignia. Inspired by Greek architecture, the urn is supported by two caryatids - elegant female figures draped in fabric, serving as pillars. The ornamental incense burner itself was designed by Raphael between 1515-20 for King Francois I, who reigned from 1515 to 1547. The lid of the urn features lily-shaped fleurs-de-lis, symbolizing the French monarchy. What makes this artwork even more intriguing are the salamanders adorning its sides.
