EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing Plate 12 from Stefano della Bella's collection "Various heads and figures" dating back to 1650. The image features a striking bust of an old Turkish man adorned with a traditional turban, his gaze directed towards the left. The intricate details etched into this piece are truly remarkable, highlighting the skillful artistry of della Bella. The fine lines and shading bring out every wrinkle on the old man's face, emphasizing his wisdom and experience. His long white beard adds to his distinguished appearance, symbolizing age and maturity. The composition is simple yet powerful as it focuses solely on the subject's head and shoulders. The elaborate headdress worn by the Turkish man showcases cultural heritage while also serving as a testament to Stefano della Bella's ability to capture different facets of society through his artwork. As we observe this mesmerizing portrait, we are transported back in time to 17th century Turkey. We can almost imagine ourselves standing before this elderly gentleman, feeling captivated by his presence and intrigued by the stories he holds within him. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both artistic mastery and cultural diversity. It is an exquisite addition to any art lover's collection or museum display at institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it resides today.
