1646
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Collection of Various Caprices and New Designs of Cartouches and Ornaments: No 14 is a 1646 by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a wild scene in black and white. On the left, a horse rears up, its legs tangled in ropes. To the right, a man struggles with a net and a snarling dog. The background is full of swirling lines and rough waves. The artist used thick, dark lines to create drama. The horse’s movement looks almost chaotic, while the man’s struggle feels urgent. Look up Baroque next to see more art like this.
Stefano della Bella (18 May 1610 – 12 July 1664) was an Italian draughtsman and printmaker known for etchings of a great variety of subjects, including military and court scenes, landscapes, and lively genre scenes.
