Mask 1610 - 1664

This etching by Stefano della Bella, titled “Mask,” depicts a Green Man, a popular motif in medieval and Renaissance art. His face is partially obscured by a crown of leafy vines, symbolizing nature's power. The intricate details and expressive lines of della Bella's work were characteristic of his Baroque style, a period known for its dramatic and emotional art. This piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
