About the Medici Vase:
The Medici Vase is a remarkable example of ancient Roman marble work that has captivated art enthusiasts for centuries. Believed to date back to the 1st century AD, the vase is a monumental piece characterized by its impressive size and intricate relief decorations.
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there was a resurgence of interest in classical art and design, often referred to as Neoclassicism. This period saw a revival of ancient Roman and Greek styles, and the Medici Vase became an iconic piece that encapsulated the ideals of this era.
