EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 12: a seated draughtsman to left, a standing shepherd next to him to right, ruins and animals to the right, a tower in ruins to left in the background" is an exquisite example of Stefano della Bella's artistic prowess. Created around 1641 during the 17th century, this etching showcases various elements that transport us back in time. In this scene, we witness a skilled draughtsman engrossed in his work as he sits on the left side of the composition. To his right stands a shepherd, perhaps seeking inspiration from nature's beauty while tending to his flock. The artist masterfully captures their individual postures and expressions with intricate detail. The backdrop reveals ancient ruins reminiscent of both Greek and Roman civilizations. These archaeological remnants evoke feelings of nostalgia for bygone eras filled with grandeur and mystery. Animals roam freely amidst these remains, adding life and movement to the scene. A dilapidated tower looms in the distance on the left side—a testament to time's relentless passage and its effect on man-made structures. This juxtaposition between human activity and nature's resilience creates an intriguing narrative within this landscape. Stefano della Bella's impeccable skill shines through every line etched onto paper—his ability to capture emotion, history, and architectural marvels is truly remarkable. This artwork transports viewers into another world where they can immerse themselves in centuries-old tales woven together by artistry
