Description
Figure of King David based on an engraving by Nicoletto da Modena (Italian, Modena, active ca. 1500–ca. 1520), possibly Castelli. The decoration on this jar combines pagan antiquity and biblical history — a common pairing in Renaissance Italy. In one roundel, the Old Testament prophet King David appears playing his harp. On the other side is a lively rendering of the Apollo Belvedere, the ancient marble statue discovered in Rome in 1489. The label — "Conserve with borage" — appears on both sides.
