Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Northern Europe, Neoclassical period, ca. 18th century CE. A beautiful purple glass intaglio depicting the seventh labor of Hercules (Herakles), the Cretan Bull. 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. This intaglio is wrapped in a hard, thin, black leather strip. Size: 1.3" W x 1" H (3.3 cm x 2.5 cm)
