Saly, a sculptor by training, was a student at the French Academy in Rome from 1740 to 1746, at which time he published a set of 30 etchings. Saly began with basic antique vase forms but deviated from classical ornament to use a rich variety of fantastic creatures for embellishment. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1996.229.11/1996.229.11_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1996.229.11/1996.229.11_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1996.229.11/1996.229.11_full.tif
