Titelprent met zeven vazen en schalen op een verhoging 1817

This 1817 engraving by Pietro Ruga depicts a design plate for various furniture and utensils. The image showcases a collection of seven ornate vases and platters, likely for both sacred and secular use, arranged on a raised platform. The piece is a clear example of design drawings popular in the 19th century, aiming to provide inspiration for artisans and designers. The inscription at the bottom states that the engraving was made in collaboration with Lorenzo Roccheggiani, adding further insight into the creative process behind the design. This work is an excellent example of Neoclassical style, characterized by its emphasis on symmetry, order, and classical motifs.
