Virgil Solis德国, 1514–1562Design for a Ewer
关于作品
The decoration and function of this ewer, or jug, relates to wine. The satyr on the front of the vessel, satyr heads at the handle and mouth, and birds and crayfish on the side are mythological or natural creatures associated with Bacchus and his revelries. The shape is derived from a Greek wine jug called an oinochoe. Made by Virgil Solis, who ran a busy printmaking workshop in Nuremberg, Germany, the print was a model for artists working in other media, such as silver.
