This etching by Stefano della Bella depicts a parade float in the form of a ship. The float was designed for the celebration of the marriage of Francesco I d'Este, Duke of Modena, in 1652. The central element of the design is a large ship, with the coat of arms of the Grand Duke of Modena at the top, surrounded by numerous figures. This etching serves as a documentation of a festive event and demonstrates the detailed, graphic style of Stefano della Bella, a prominent artist of the 17th century.
