Drie hoofden van filosofen 1620 - 1647

"Drie hoofden van filosofen" (Three Heads of Philosophers) is an etching by Italian artist Stefano della Bella created between 1620 and 1647. The etching features three bearded men, likely philosophers, rendered in detail with a focus on their facial expressions and hair. Their heads are close together, creating an intimate scene, and their thoughtful gazes suggest a deep intellectual engagement. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases della Bella's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and his mastery of the etching technique.
