EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 13 from Stefano della Bella's renowned series "Various animals (Diversi animali)" dating back to around 1641. The image beautifully captures the serene moment of a water buffalo lying down in its natural habitat. The etching, created by Italian artist Stefano della Bella during the seventeenth century, exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The intricate details in this artwork highlight the buffalo's majestic presence against the backdrop of an idyllic countryside. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is a testament to Della Bella's exceptional talent as an etcher. His ability to capture both the physicality and essence of various animals has made him one of Italy's most celebrated artists. In this particular plate, Della Bella masterfully uses contrasting shades of black and white to create depth and texture, emphasizing every contour and muscle on the buffalo's body. The composition invites viewers into a momentary glimpse into the peaceful world inhabited by these magnificent creatures. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of Della Bella's artistic prowess but also our own connection with nature. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in stillness lies beauty waiting to be discovered.
