This engraving by Eimmert after Joachim von Sandrart is from his Teutsche Academie. Until the late 17th century designers had to rely on 16th-century prints for their knowledge of vases and other Roman objects. The vases shown here are taken from the designs of Agostine Veneziano, Polidoro de Caravaggio and Enea Vico. They are placed before ruins, to suggest that they are Roman originals; none would now be mistaken for a real Roman object.
