EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 19: a rider making his horse drink from a basin of a fountain at left, another horseman seen from behind riding towards the left in the background" takes us back to the 17th century. Created by Italian artist Stefano della Bella around 1646, this etching beautifully captures an intimate moment between man and beast. In this scene, we witness a rider gently guiding his horse towards a magnificent fountain on the left. The horse bends its head down gracefully to drink from the basin while its rider patiently waits nearby. In the distance, another horseman approaches from behind, creating depth and movement within the composition. Della Bella's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. The intricate lines bring life to both human figures and horses alike, showcasing their strength and elegance. The contrast between light and shadow adds drama to the scene as well as emphasizes the architectural ruins surrounding them. This artwork not only portrays a simple act of quenching thirst but also reflects upon our connection with nature. It reminds us of our reliance on water for survival while highlighting our harmonious relationship with animals. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Stefano della Bella continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and skillful execution.
