Landscape with Fisherman Carrying his Net is a 1647 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet riverside scene. A fisherman on the left carries a net, walking toward the water. Nearby, two people stand by a horse, one holding the reins. Trees and bushes line the shore, and a small boat floats in the background. In the distance, a town with buildings and a tower sits on a hill. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the rough bark of trees or the folds in the fisherman’s clothes. The scene feels calm but full of small details. Next, look up the technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
