EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Perou, 1644" captures the essence of 17th-century Peru, as depicted by Italian artist Stefano della Bella. The image showcases a representation of the country's geography and heritage art through intricate etching. In this scene, we see a group of people engaged in various activities against the backdrop of Peru's stunning landscapes. The focal point of the photo is a woman playing cards, highlighting leisurely pursuits popular during that era. Surrounding her are individuals from different walks of life, each offering glimpses into Peruvian society at the time. From farmers to merchants to nobles, they all contribute to creating a diverse and vibrant tableau. Stefano della Bella masterfully captures these details with his signature style, showcasing his talent for capturing human figures in motion while paying attention to architectural elements and natural scenery. This particular work was created during an important period when French writer Jean Desmarets de Saint Sorlin visited Peru. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document. It allows viewers to travel back in time and immerse themselves in 17th-century Peru—a testament to how art can bridge gaps between cultures and eras while preserving our collective heritage.
