1649
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Various Figures and Landscapes: Title Page - Three Figures is a 1649 by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows three figures outdoors. A man in a wide-brimmed hat and long coat stands in the center, one hand on his hip. To his right, a woman leans over a barrel or chest, her face turned away. Behind them, a city skyline with buildings and a river stretches into the distance. The text at the bottom names a Paris street where this was sold, hinting it’s from 17th-century France. The man’s confident pose and the dramatic lighting suggest it’s meant to feel lively and bold. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style’s energy shaped art.
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.
