Suite of Vases: Plate 1, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 1, 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 1,1746" a remarkable creation by Jacques Francois Saly. During the mid-18th century, designing ornamental vases or urns became immensely popular as artists were only limited by their imagination. Saly, known primarily as a 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 set of thirty etchings. In this particular piece, Saly took inspiration from ancient vase forms but departed from classical ornamentation. Instead, he adorned his work with an array of fantastical creatures and motifs that exude creativity and innovation. The photograph captures the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of Saly's design. The viewer is immediately drawn into a world where mythical beings come to life on these magnificent vases. Each creature seems to tell its own story while contributing to the overall harmony and beauty of the composition. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the artistic brilliance and boundless imagination that defined the mid-18th century. This masterpiece serves as a testament to Jacques Francois Saly's talent and legacy as one of France's most celebrated artists during this era.
