Suite of Vases: Title Page, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Title Page, 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 the "Suite of Vases: Title Page, 1746" created by Jacques Francois Saly. During the mid-18th century, designing ornamental vases or urns was a highly popular artistic pursuit, as artists were only limited by their own imagination. Saly, a sculptor with exceptional talent, studied at the prestigious French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746. It was during this time that he published a remarkable set of 30 etchings. In this particular piece, Saly took inspiration from classical vase forms but infused them with his unique touch. Departing from traditional ornamentation, he adorned these vases with an array of fantastical creatures that add an element of whimsy and intrigue to the overall design. The etching itself is a testament to Saly's mastery of his craft. The intricate details and delicate lines showcase his skillful technique and attention to even the smallest elements within each vase. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness the boundless creativity that flourished during the 18th century. This print serves as a reminder of both our rich artistic heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by talented individuals like Jacques Francois Saly.
