Stefano della Bella
Stefano della Bella is a seventeenth-century printmaker whose etched and engraved views sit firmly within the Italian Baroque tradition. His plates move easily between mythological narrative and the observation of daily life and animals, worked with a fine, nervous line. The archive holds a single sheet by him, an etching with engraving known as Phalaris Having Perillus Thrown into the Bronze Bull, preserved in the second state of three, illustrating the gruesome legend of the Sicilian tyrant.
