Vijf ogen 1620 - 1647

Stefano della Bella's "Vijf ogen" is a 17th-century etching depicting five different views of a human eye. The meticulous detail of the eye's anatomy, particularly the eyelashes and the intricate folds of the eyelid, demonstrates Bella's mastery of the technique. This study of human anatomy is a testament to the artist's interest in realism and the classical tradition of drawing from life. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable example of della Bella's work and the artistic exploration of the human form during the Baroque era.
