Titelprent voor de serie 'De vierentwintig uren van het menselijk geluk' 1675

This etching by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli from 1675 is a title print for the series "The Twenty-Four Hours of Human Happiness" and features a winged figure holding a staff and pointing towards a clock face. The figure's body is depicted with a detailed anatomical style, typical of Italian Baroque art. The clock face, symbolizing time, is a recurring motif throughout the series and emphasizes the passage of time as it relates to human happiness. The title in Italian, "LE VENTIQVATTR' HORE DELL' HVMANA FELICITA," reinforces the subject of the artwork, which is the fleeting nature of happiness within the cyclical nature of time. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Mitelli's work and the artistic trends of the 17th century.
