Suite of Vases: Plate 14, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 14, 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 14,1746" created by the talented Jacques Francois Saly. During the mid-18th century, designing ornamental vases or urns was a highly sought-after art form, as artists were only limited by their own imagination. Saly, who had a background in sculpture and studied at the prestigious French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746, published a remarkable set of 30 etchings during this period. In this particular plate, Saly took inspiration from ancient vase forms but added his unique touch by incorporating an array of fantastical creatures for embellishment. The result is a stunning composition that seamlessly blends classical elements with imaginative designs. The intricate details captured in this etching highlight Saly's exceptional skill and creativity. Each line and curve brings life to these exquisite vases, showcasing his mastery over the medium. This artwork serves as a testament to Saly's ability to push boundaries while still paying homage to classical aesthetics. As we admire this piece from the comfort of our homes or galleries like The Cleveland Museum of Art where it resides, we are transported back to the vibrant artistic scene of 18th-century France. Through Heritage Art/Heritage Images' expertly produced photo print, we can appreciate every nuance and marvel at Jacques Francois Saly's contribution to French art history.
