Borghese vase 1790 - 1800

This bronze vase, created by the Italian artist Giovanni Zoffoli between 1790 and 1800, is a fine example of Neoclassical design. The vase's form is inspired by ancient Roman models, with a wide, flared mouth, a bulbous body, and a tall, slender stem. The decorative elements, including the sculpted heads and the relief panel, are also drawn from classical sources. The vase, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Zoffoli's skill as a sculptor and his ability to capture the spirit of ancient Roman art.
