EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 11: the pyramid of Caius Cestius to right in the background, a horse grazing" transports us back to 17th-century Rome. The image showcases a picturesque countryside scene with various elements that evoke a sense of tranquility and rural life. In the center of the composition, we see a beautiful horse peacefully grazing on lush green grass. To its left, a foal suckles from its mother mare, emphasizing the cycle of life and nurturing bonds within nature. On the right side, the iconic pyramid of Caius Cestius stands tall against the horizon, adding an architectural element to this pastoral landscape. Two figures are also present in this idyllic setting. A seated shepherd gazes into the distance while another man stands beside him, pointing towards something unseen on their left. Their presence suggests human interaction with both nature and historical landmarks. Stefano della Bella's etching technique beautifully captures every detail of this scene - from intricate textures in foliage to delicate shading on animals' coats. This artwork is part of his larger series called "Roman Landscapes and Ruins" created between 1643-48. Displayed at The Met Museum as part of their heritage art collection curated by Pierre Mariette, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Italy's rich history and agricultural heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate not only natural beauty but also humanity's connection with land and animals throughout centuries past.
