EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mauritanie, 1644" was created by the talented Stefano della Bella in the 17th century. The image showcases a beautifully detailed etching that transports us back to the rich heritage of Mauritania. In this representation, we see a group of people engaged in an intriguing game of cards. The artist skillfully captures the essence of their interaction, bringing to life the vibrant atmosphere of this Mauritanian scene. Each figure is meticulously depicted with delicate lines and intricate details, showcasing della Bella's mastery as an Italian artist. The composition also hints at the cultural exchange between France and Mauritania during this period. Jean Desmarets de Saint Sorlin, a renowned French poet and playwright, is believed to have inspired this artwork through his writings about Mauritania. His influence can be seen in both the title and subject matter. As we delve into this historical piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported to another time and place - a testament to how art has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments in history. This print serves as a window into Mauritanian culture during the seventeenth century while honoring Stefano della Bella's artistic brilliance.
