Pair of French rococo vases, embellished with asymmetrical acanthus decoration amidst flowers, foliage, and a tropical bird. Based on designs by Alexis Peyrotte, in the Louis XV style.
These prints are from a series of 100 etchings of ornaments, vases, and decorations designed by "the masters." The prints are of a wide variety of architectural, sculptural, and decorative arts ornament, finely etched or engraved by Pequegnot after such famous artists as Raphael, Durer, Boucher, Watteau, Berain, Guido Reni, Daniel Marot, etc. Together they are a compendium of architectural ornament from the Renaissance through Louis XIV, XV, and XVI periods, ending with the French Empire of the early 19th century.
Alexis Peyrotte was born in the south of France and moved to Paris, where he served as painter to King Louis XV.
