Description
The complex ornament and curving handles of this pair of vases demonstrate the love of intricate ornament characteristic of the late Renaissance in general and are typical of the productions of the Patanazzi workshop in particular. Classical figures, festoons, and grotesque masks give the surfaces a lively character, while the biblical scenes--based on illustrations from a 16th-century printed Bible--have been framed with strap work, a popular decorative system that imitates cut and folded leather.
