This engraving by Italian Renaissance artist Enea Vico, created between 1533 and 1567, depicts a highly ornate vase. The vase's form and decoration are inspired by classical Roman antiquities, highlighting the resurgence of interest in ancient art during the Renaissance. The intricate details of the vase, including the satyr-shaped handle, the mascaron, and the sea-life motifs, showcase Vico's mastery of the engraving technique and his ability to capture the essence of Roman artistry. The inscription "ROM. AB ANT.QVO REPERTVM" (Found in Rome from Antiquity) reinforces the connection to classical heritage and emphasizes the importance of studying and preserving these artifacts.
