Présentation de l'éditeur
Painted Vases may be considered as the most curious, the most graceful, and the most instructive remains that have come down to us from ancient times. The beauty of the forms, the fineness of the material, the perfection of the varnish, the variety of the subjects, and their interest in an historical point of view, give painted vases a very important place among the productions of the arts of the ancients. Painted vases have been collected with great eagerness ever since they have been known, and the most remarkable have been engraved by celebrated artists, and explained by profound archaeologists. Modern art and archaeology have obtained from them beautiful models and important information. They were known for the first time in the seventeenth century; Lachausse published some of them in his Museum Romanum, in 1690; Beger and Montfaucon imitated his example; Dempster subsequently wrote on them more fully; Gori, Buonarotti, and Caylus, added some general observations to those of Dempster; Winckelman could not omit them in his immortal work on the history of Ancient A rt, and modified, by the accuracy of his observation, the theories of his predecessors.
