Ornamentele vaas met tuit in de vorm van een misvormd gezicht 1543

Enea Vico's 1543 engraving "Ornamentele vaas met tuit in de vorm van een misvormd gezicht" depicts an ornate vase with a spout shaped like a grotesque face, an example of the artist’s interest in antiquity. The vase's design is richly detailed with numerous decorative elements, including figures, floral motifs, and a distinct spiral pattern, and its spout takes the form of a monstrous face. This work is an example of the Mannerist style, which emphasized exaggeration and artistic expression through the use of grotesque and distorted figures. The engraving's inscription, "Rome ab antiquo repertum" (Found in Rome from antiquity), suggests the vase's inspiration from Roman art. The work is now held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
