EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 22: cart horse, from Various animals (Diversi animali), ca. 1641" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 17th century countryside. Captured by Italian artist Stefano della Bella through an etching technique, this image showcases a majestic carthorse in all its glory. The horse stands tall and proud against a backdrop of sheaves of wheat, symbolizing the abundance of harvest time. Its muscular physique and strong build reveal its purpose as a draft horse - an essential companion for farmers during that era. The intricate details captured by della Bella's skilled hand bring this farm animal to life on paper. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork is part of the museum's heritage collection. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. As we gaze upon this monochromatic masterpiece, we are transported to a time when horses were not only indispensable work partners but also revered creatures embodying strength and grace. Stefano della Bella's talent shines through in his ability to capture every nuance with precision, making us appreciate the beauty found within nature itself. This print invites us to reflect on our connection with animals throughout history while reminding us of their vital role in shaping our past civilizations.
