EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 4: two profiles and three mouths, from The Book for Learning to Draw (Livre pour apprendre a dessiner), ca. 1649" takes us back to the fascinating world of anatomical studies in the 17th century. Created by Italian artist Stefano della Bella, this etching showcases his exceptional talent in capturing intricate details of the human body. In this artwork, we are presented with two side profiles and three different mouth expressions. Each profile reveals the delicate contours of a male face, highlighting both its unique features and subtle variations. The meticulous attention given to every line and curve demonstrates Della Bella's mastery in portraying human anatomy. As we delve into this piece, it is impossible not to marvel at the scientific curiosity that drove artists like Della Bella during this period. This print serves as a testament to their dedication in understanding the complexities of our bodies through art. Now housed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this historical artifact offers us an invaluable glimpse into centuries-old artistic techniques fused with scientific exploration. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements today, there is still immense beauty and knowledge to be found in these timeless works of art.
