EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching by Stefano della Bella, we are transported to the countryside of 17th century Italy. The print, titled "Hounds Chasing a Stag and a Doe" showcases the artist's incredible talent in capturing the energy and intensity of a deer hunt. The scene unfolds with great dynamism as hounds dash across an open field, their bodies poised in mid-air as they chase after their prey. The stag and doe, with majestic antlers adorning their heads, sprint ahead desperately trying to evade capture. Della Bella masterfully portrays the speed and agility of both predator and prey through his meticulous linework. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear the baying of hounds echoing through the landscape. The stark contrast between light and dark enhances our focus on the central action unfolding before us. It is evident that della Bella was not only skilled at depicting animals but also possessed an understanding of movement and composition. This print serves as a testament to both Italian hunting traditions during the 17th century as well as Stefano della Bella's artistic prowess. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, it allows us to appreciate not only historical context but also delve into an immersive visual experience that transcends time.
