Comments

The volume Bn 11, entitled Vase antiche, is devoted entirely to vases, some antique, but mostly fanciful products after the antique. A large number of the engravings have the initials AE. V and the representation of fanciful vases fall into three groups, distinguished by the inscriptions (a) sic Romae antiqui sculptores ex aere et marmore faciebant,
(b) ex Romanis antiquitatibus,
(c) Romae ab antiquo repertum

Description

Content (description)

Round the belly of the squat globular vase pairs of nude men wrestle on an irregular rocky groundline. Between the two pairs shown is a vase on a pedestal, set high up. At far right a half-draped Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch turns to a figure beyond her on right.
