Item Details
Description
Northern Europe, Neoclassical period, ca. 18th to early 19th century CE. A charming translucent russet glass intaglio depicting, from left to right, Aphrodite, lounging sensually; Zeus, muscular and powerful; and Athena, standing with her back turned to the viewer, her owl beside her. The Neoclassical period saw immense northern European interest in the Classical world, in part inspired by the budding science of archaeology. Artists looked to the deep past for inspiration, but brought an imaginative sensibility to their depictions of it. Size: 1.55" W x 1.3" H (3.9 cm x 3.3 cm)
