Pot met deksel en twee meermannen 1764

Benigno Bossi's "Pot met deksel en twee meermannen" from 1764 depicts a classical urn adorned with a decorative wreath and two putti, or cherubs, flanking it. The design of the urn, featuring a central knob, is reminiscent of ancient Roman and Greek art. Bossi, an Italian artist known for his engravings and architectural designs, crafted this artwork for a broader audience interested in the aesthetics of classical forms and decorative elements. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the enduring influence of classical art and design on the artistic trends of the 18th century.
