Landscape 1610 - 1664

"Landscape" is a delicate drawing by Italian artist Stefano della Bella, created between 1610 and 1664. The work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, showcases della Bella's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of a natural scene with just a few light strokes. The drawing's emphasis on light and atmospheric effects, with its hazy rendering of distant hills, contributes to a serene and evocative impression. This work exemplifies della Bella's mastery of the landscape genre, which he explored throughout his career.
