Borghese vaas 1688 - 1698

"Borghese vaas" is an engraving created by an anonymous artist between 1688-1698. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a classical-style vase adorned with relief sculptures. The vase's design showcases intricate details with a wide, rimmed opening, a bulbous body, and a flared base. The figures on the vase are likely inspired by Roman mythology, adding a layer of symbolism and historical context. This drawing exemplifies the artistic fascination with classical forms and the enduring influence of ancient Greek and Roman art on European artists during this period.
