Summary
| Description |
English: This monumental bronze vase was first exhibited at the Exposition Universelle (world's fair) in Paris in 1889. Its surfaces teem with applied life casts of spiders, a juniper branch, peacock feathers, lace, ribbons and snails. This fantastical imagery is reminiscent of the art produced by contemporary Symbolists, themselves preoccupied by visionary themes. Its scale is also consistent with other virtuoso pieces created during the last decades of the 19th century, yet its overall form and twisted, fluted handles are directly based on an ancient Roman volute krater (mixing vessel) from Pompeii which the sculptor drew during a visit to the archaeological museum in Naples in 1877. Item #617 on the Getty Center guided audio tour. Currently on view at Museum West itPavilion, Gallery W103 as of 22 August, 2018.
