Drie ogen waarvan twee met wenkbrauw 1620 - 1647

This detailed etching by Stefano della Bella, created between 1620 and 1647, showcases a meticulous study of the human eye. The artist's keen attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the eye's structure, from the delicate eyelashes to the subtle wrinkles around the eye. The single eye, rendered with an almost scientific precision, suggests a focus on anatomical observation, a hallmark of Baroque art. The "Drie ogen waarvan twee met wenkbrauw" highlights the artist's fascination with the human form and his ability to capture its beauty in a single, powerful detail. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into the artistic practices of the 17th century.
