This silver "Drinking Bowl" was created in 1624 by Adam van Vianen I, a Dutch silversmith. The bowl is decorated with a central coat of arms surrounded by an elaborate rim with figures in a classical style. The piece is a prime example of van Vianen's Mannerist style, characterized by intricate details and a focus on the human figure. This artwork is a testament to the high skill of Dutch silversmiths in the early 17th century, and it can be seen today in the Rijksmuseum.
Comments
The flat dish is engraved with a coat of arms, possibly of the Van Aller family of Utrecht. Adam van Vianen probably made the majority of his works of art in silver for wealthy connoisseurs in the Netherlands. The auricular border merges into a group of ancient gods: Bacchus, Ceres and Venus with Cupid.
