This etching by Stefano della Bella, titled "The Prince of Tuscany and his chariots arranged around Mount Atlas in center, a fountain at center in the foreground, a large arch displaying the Medici and the Orleans coats of arms in the background, spectators surrounding all sides, from 'Il mondo festeggiante'", depicts a lavish procession. The central figure of Mount Atlas, along with the Medici and Orleans coats of arms, highlights the grandeur and importance of the event. The meticulously detailed composition, with its intricate portrayal of figures, chariots, and architecture, exemplifies della Bella's mastery of the etching technique, a popular medium in the 17th century. The work offers a glimpse into the opulent celebrations of the Florentine court and is a testament to the artistic brilliance of della Bella, a prominent figure in the Baroque era.
