Twee vazen en twee kannen 1644 - 1718

"Twee vazen en twee kannen" (Two vases and two jugs) is an etching by the Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, created between 1644 and 1718. This detailed drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts four different vessels, showcasing a variety of decorative elements and intricate ornamentation. These designs would have likely been used as inspiration for actual vases and jugs, offering a glimpse into the artistic trends and craftsmanship of the 17th century. The delicate lines and careful shading of Mitelli's etching demonstrate his technical skill and his mastery of the baroque style.
