Suite of Vases: Plate 8, 1746. Creator: Jacques Francois Saly (French, 1717-1776)
Suite of Vases: Plate 8, 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 8,1746" 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, spent six years studying at the prestigious French Academy in Rome and published a set of 30 etchings during his time there. Plate 8 from this suite features antique vase forms that serve as a foundation for Saly's incredible artistic vision. Departing from classical ornamentation, he ingeniously incorporates an array of fantastical creatures to embellish these vases. The result is an exquisite fusion of mythological beings and intricate design elements that captivate viewers with their beauty and complexity. This particular print transports us back to the vibrant art scene of 18th-century France. It not only highlights Saly's exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to the era's fascination with decorative arts. With its delicate etching technique and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork exemplifies why Saly remains renowned among art enthusiasts today. Displayed proudly in The Cleveland Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to both heritage and artistic excellence. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has masterfully captured every nuance within this photograph print, allowing us to appreciate Jacques Francois Saly's genius from wherever we may be in the world.
