9033 Bernard de Montfaucon (1655–1741) – Vases – Engraving (1724)
This print illustrates several ancient vases or vessels, primarily showing examples of metal or ceramic containers used by the Romans. The subjects include a sectional diagram of a vessel ("M. Foucaulde"), a small urn with an ornate strap ("M. de Fourcy"), and a stack of three heavily inscribed, bulbous vases on the right, labeled with prominent Roman lettering. This engraving was created as detailed archaeological documentation for Bernard de Montfaucon’s comprehensive catalogue of classical artifacts, "L'Antiquité expliquée et representée en figures" (Antiquity Explained and Represented in Figures).
Bernard de Montfaucon was an influential French Benedictine scholar and a founder of modern paleography and classical archaeology. He is best known for his monumental, illustrated encyclopedia of classical antiquity, "L'Antiquité expliquée," which was a critical reference work throughout the eighteenth century, systematically documenting countless artifacts, monuments, and aspects of ancient life.
