Suite of Vases: Plate 2, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 2, 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 2,1746" 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 imagination. Saly, known primarily as a sculptor, honed his skills at the prestigious French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746. In this particular piece, Saly took inspiration from ancient vase forms but veered away from classical ornamentation. Instead, he adorned these exquisite vases with an array of fantastical creatures that add a touch of whimsy and intrigue. The intricate etching technique employed in this artwork brings out every minute detail and highlights the artist's mastery. The photograph captures not just the beauty of Saly's creation but also its historical significance. It represents an era when artists pushed boundaries and embraced imaginative designs to create unique pieces that captivated viewers. Preserved within the walls of The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to both Jacques Francois Saly's artistic prowess and his contribution to French art history during the 18th century. Through Heritage Art/Heritage Images' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate this extraordinary work that continues to inspire awe today.
