Kan met een oor in de vorm van een hond 1533 - 1567

This engraving by Enea Vico, dating back to the 16th century, depicts an elaborate vase with a dog-shaped handle. The vase is adorned with intricate details such as a decorative border of boats and a series of human busts, highlighting the artistic interest in classical antiquity during the Renaissance period. The precise details of the vase suggest it was created from a real object found in Rome, as indicated by the inscription "ROME AB ANTIQVO REPERTUM", suggesting it was rediscovered from antiquity. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the fascination with ancient art and its influence on Renaissance art.
