Vases or Urns

This large folio color chromolithograph is from Albert Genick’s Griechische Keramik. The work was published in Berlin in 1876 by Genick and Wasmuth. Ernst Wasmuth also completed the color-printed lithography. Genick’s superb work was on Greek Ceramics with each plate illustrating various vases, urns, jugs, and other vessels. Interest in Greek ceramics and art was revived in the late 1700s with renewed travel to Italy and Greece as well as the publication of collections such as Sir William Hamilton.
