EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable design for a tureen or salt cellar from the mid-16th century. Created in 1881, this engraving captures an exquisite wooden vessel adorned with intricate details and supported by three majestic goats. The design itself dates back to 1540-1550 and is attributed to Giulio Romano, one of Raphael's esteemed assistants. The image comes from "The South Kensington Museum" a book that features engraved illustrations and descriptions of artworks housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). Published by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington in 1881, this book serves as a testament to the enduring beauty of historical artifacts. In this particular artwork, we witness the fusion of Renaissance aesthetics with Italian craftsmanship. The decorative vessel exudes elegance through its ornate carvings and meticulous attention to detail. The choice to depict goats as supporting figures adds an element of whimsy while also symbolizing strength and grace. As we delve into this photo print, we are transported back in time - exploring centuries-old metalwork that once graced noble tables. This artifact not only represents exceptional artistry but also provides us with glimpses into cultural practices and artistic traditions of both Italy and Europe during the Renaissance era. Overall, this enchanting image invites us to appreciate the rich heritage preserved within museum walls while celebrating the ingenuity of unknown artists who continue to inspire generations through their timeless creations.
