EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 2: a peasant woman removing her shoes in center, another peasant woman and two cows in a stream to left, a bridge to right in the background" transports us back to the 17th century countryside. The image captures the essence of agricultural life during this era. In the center of the frame stands a weary peasant woman, depicted with remarkable detail by Stefano della Bella. She is seen removing her worn-out shoes after a long day's work on the farm. Her tired expression reflects both physical exhaustion and resilience. To her left, we see another peasant woman accompanied by two cows grazing peacefully in a nearby stream. This scene evokes tranquility amidst nature's beauty. In contrast, on the right side of the photograph lies an old bridge that adds depth and perspective to this rural landscape. The etching technique used by della Bella enhances every intricate line and texture within this composition. It brings forth an authentic sense of heritage artistry that speaks volumes about Italy's rich cultural history. As we observe this image from Heritage Images at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), it serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors who worked tirelessly on these lands centuries ago. Through their dedication and hard work, they shaped not only their own lives but also laid down foundations for future generations in agriculture. Let us cherish this glimpse into history as we appreciate Stefano della Bella's masterful portrayal of rural life during the 17th century through
