EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Plate 12: a shepherd sleeping on the ground at right, three horses at left, other horses and various figures to right, the Baths of Diocletian in the background" we are transported back to 17th century Rome. Stefano della Bella's etching beautifully captures a tranquil moment amidst the bustling agricultural landscape. At first glance, our attention is drawn to a weary shepherd peacefully slumbering on the ground. His tired body finds solace in rest as his loyal companions - three majestic horses - graze nearby. The scene is further animated by other figures scattered about, engaged in their daily tasks amidst ancient ruins. The backdrop of this picturesque setting reveals the grandeur of the Baths of Diocletian. These magnificent Roman structures stand tall and proud, providing an awe-inspiring contrast against the humble countryside. It serves as a reminder of Rome's rich history and cultural heritage. Della Bella's masterful use of light and shadow creates depth within this circular composition. Every detail tells a story; every line evokes emotion. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect upon themes such as laborious farm life, human connection with animals, and man's place within nature. This print from Heritage Images transports us through time into an archaeological site frozen in stillness yet brimming with life. It encapsulates not only historical significance but also showcases Della Bella's talent for capturing both beauty and authenticity within his landscapes.
