These two large marble garden vases were made in 1714 by the French sculptor Jacob Cressant. Appropriately for a garden, Cressant decorated each of the vases with one of the four seasons. Illustrated here on the front are Bacchus, god of wine and fertility, and Cronos, god of time. They represent autumn and winter.
