EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 13: a peasant woman" transports us back to the 17th century countryside of Italy. The image showcases an agricultural worker, a humble peasant woman seen from behind, as she holds a basket in the center of the frame. To her left stands a donkey, symbolizing the indispensable role these animals played in farm labor during that era. On her right side is a horse with a pack on its back, further emphasizing the importance of these loyal creatures in supporting daily tasks. The etching technique used by Stefano della Bella beautifully captures the essence of rural life at that time. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and texture to this monochromatic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this artwork displayed at the Metropolitan Museum, we are reminded of our rich heritage and how agriculture has been an integral part of human civilization throughout history. This image serves as a testament to the hard work and resilience exhibited by farmworkers who dedicated their lives to cultivating land and nurturing livestock. Stefano della Bella's Plate 13 invites us to appreciate both nature's beauty and humanity's connection with it. It reminds us that even centuries later, farming remains an essential pillar for sustaining societies worldwide.
