Plate 6: a fisherman carrying a net to left, two horsemen in a stream to right, a tree in center, a castle in ruins to right in the background, from 'Various landscapes' (Divers paysages) 1636 - 1646

Stefano della Bella's "Plate 6: a fisherman carrying a net to left, two horsemen in a stream to right, a tree in center, a castle in ruins to right in the background, from 'Various landscapes' (Divers paysages)" (1636-1646) depicts a picturesque landscape with a central tree, a fisherman, horsemen, and a ruined castle. The etching, a technique where acid is used to create lines on a metal plate, exemplifies della Bella's skilled draftsmanship and his interest in capturing the nuances of light and shadow. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and the beauty of the Italian countryside, making this print a fine example of the Italian landscape tradition.
