Suite of Vases: Plate 21, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 21, 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 Plate 21 of the "Suite of Vases" created by Jacques Francois Saly in 1746. During the mid-18th century, designing ornamental vases or urns was a popular artistic endeavor that allowed artists to unleash their imagination without any limitations. Saly, a highly skilled sculptor, spent six years studying 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 plate, Saly took inspiration from ancient vase forms but ventured beyond classical ornamentation. Instead, he adorned his creation with an array of fantastical creatures and intricate details that truly captivate the viewer's attention. The artist's ability to seamlessly blend classical influences with his own imaginative embellishments is evident in every stroke. This stunning piece represents not only Saly's exceptional talent but also reflects the artistic trends and preferences of the 18th century France. With its meticulous etching technique and rich variety of motifs, it stands as a testament to both historical significance and aesthetic beauty. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Jacques Francois Saly's genius firsthand while preserving an important part of French heritage for generations to come.
