The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (July 16-November 6, 2016). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: Trained as a sculptor, Saly etched a series of 30 vase designs while studying at the Académie de France in Rome. After his return to Paris, the publication announcement for the Suite of Vases endorsed the prints as an indication of the sculptor’s ingenuity and freedom of design. The vase designs also nourished an appetite for the revival of classical elements, or Neoclassicism, in decorative arts that developed in the mid-18th century. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1996.229.25/1996.229.25_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1996.229.25/1996.229.25_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1996.229.25/1996.229.25_full.tif
