Heads of Three Lions 1636 - 1646

Stefano della Bella’s etching “Heads of Three Lions” (1636 - 1646) showcases the artist's keen eye for detail. The print features three lion heads, each rendered in exquisite detail, emphasizing the powerful and majestic nature of the animal. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and life within the static form. This drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies della Bella's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with stunning realism.
