EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stefano della Bella takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a scene filled with maritime activity. In the center of the frame, we see a rowboat brimming with men, their faces etched with determination as they navigate through the water. On the left shore stands a group of men, perhaps bidding farewell or eagerly awaiting their turn to embark on this nautical adventure. To the right of the composition lies a grand ship teeming with even more men. One figure catches our attention as he fires his pistol into the air, adding an element of action and excitement to this otherwise serene setting. The etching technique employed by della Bella adds depth and texture to every detail captured in this image. The backdrop showcases a picturesque harbor surrounded by rolling hills and distant landforms, reminding us of Italy's rich geographical features. This artwork is part of a larger suite known as "Set of eight nautical landscapes" which further emphasizes della Bella's fascination with seafaring life during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It transports viewers back in time while highlighting Italy's maritime heritage and its people's reliance on water transport for trade and exploration.
