EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 17th century, capturing a serene moment in time. At the center of the frame stands a fisherman, his gaze fixed towards the left as he leans against a majestic tree. His weathered face tells stories of countless hours spent on this riverbank, patiently waiting for his catch. In the background, we see a woman gracefully walking alongside a horse to the right. The vastness of the landscape emphasizes their small presence within nature's grandeur. This image is part of Stefano della Bella's collection titled "Four large landscapes" created between 1652-57. The etching technique used by della Bella adds depth and texture to every detail - from the intricate lines on each figure's clothing to the delicate shading that brings life to this monochromatic scene. It is through these artistic choices that we are transported into an Italian countryside filled with tranquility and beauty. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and connection with nature throughout history. Della Bella masterfully captures not only physical landscapes but also evokes emotions tied to our relationship with land and water. This print invites us to reflect upon our own place within nature's tapestry and reminds us that even in centuries past, people found solace in its embrace.
