EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching by Stefano della Bella, we are transported to a whimsical world where mythological creatures mingle with children in playful harmony. The image showcases a child and a satyr child engrossed in their delightful interaction with a gentle goat. Created around 1657, the artwork captures the essence of innocence and joy that transcends time. The circular shape of the print adds an enchanting touch, drawing our attention to the central scene as if peering through a magical window into another realm. Della Bella's masterful technique brings out intricate details, highlighting every strand of hair on the goat's coat and capturing the expressions of delight on both children's faces. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we can't help but be reminded of the timeless connection between humans and animals. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when playfulness was abundant in everyday life. The Italian artist skillfully combines mythology with reality, blurring boundaries between fantasy and existence. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print serves as a testament to Stefano della Bella's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into worlds filled with wonderment. It is an invitation for us all to embrace our inner childlike spirit and find joy in even the simplest moments shared with nature's creatures.
